My MacBook keyboard has no keys working at all,the light for caps lock does not come on when pressed and there is no backlight although it briefly came on for a moment but the second I went to move the laptop it flickers off.the Touch Bar and laptop is in full working order. Do you think it could just be a problem with the cable connecting the keyboard to the motherboard has worked it’s way loose ?as it was in a suitcase going across rocky concrete so it was vibrating in my bag
@SOSfix Electronics Good video tutorial! I have a question, is there a possibility to replace the keys above "Function, Esc, Brightness, Sound, Play, etc" by Touch bar on an old Macbook Pro from 2015 or below?
Hi great video, and thank you for posting and sharing. I am about to attempt this exact job on an A1706, so when you lifted around the locating rivets can you repress these down again or do you need the screws, from what I understand you can use the 000 Philips screws for the previous 2013-2015 model keyboard replacement, am I correct?also do you not need to remove the battery on this or the A1706 model I would appreciate any clarification you could give me on this. Thanks in advance
@@adiands850 I got everything ready, I purchased a new top case (from China) with the keyboard attached, I procrastinated so long that the laptop I was fixing (one that I purchased through insurance from water damage) ended up coming right so I didn't have to do it, so I sold on the top case, Laptop still working.
@@SOSfixElectronics and where do you get those screws from? do they come with the keyboard replacement? Also, I've seen some sites that sell the backlight separately, and that makes me ask whether a keyboard replacement comes with the backlight "by default"? thanks a lot for the contribution.
@@VictorTheSnake86 not all the keyboards came with backlight, i usually use the backlight from old keyboard. if you need extra screws get them from ebay, or u can skip some holes and use that screen for the new holes
i am trying to replace my A1707 keyboard, but i am facing difficulty. i don't have the right screwdriver size to unscrew the keyboard. May you tell me the screw size?
если клепки заново не восстановить(клей/поксипол/саморезы) то клавиатура будет болтаться при нажатии. на видео показано как нужно делать но по выходу клавиатура не приклеена. Нужно учитывать и тот факт что сама клавиатура между клавишами проклеена еще двух-сторонним скотчем, чтобы она вообще жестко стояла на месте.

Glad it helped!
@@ff090 Thankyou so much for the detailed explanation.
Hi, do you put screws on top of the cutted metal rivets that hold the keyboard before? or you first removed them
the most difficult keyboard replacement ever! it takes just few min to replace keyboard on most other laptops
You right

rivets will left a holes that the keyboard screws will fit in, i think a1706 has same battery, so no need to remove it.
@@SOSfixElectronics Thank you for the info, One last question is it best to disconnect the battery first, I think ?
@@rvrt1829 did you attempt this on your A1706 and how did it go? I am thinking of doing the same. Thanks

Great video, thank you! What did you replace the metal rivets with? Screws?
if the rivet left a clear hole the screw will fit in

Even worse than the Lenovo ThinkPad X240/X250/X260/X270 units and they were bad enough.
Are you capable of doing a touchbar replacement on an A2159?
yes i done it on a17xx. is yours cracked?
@@SOSfixElectronics it's not cracked, the issue with mine is it's glitching/flickering.
@@bmojames big chance bad touchbar screen but small chance could be the board issue
@@SOSfixElectronics would i be able to send it to you to fix the issue for me? i'll call today if i have to to get an estimated price.
