Thanks so much for this video! You saved me $125. I used an eyeglass repair kit screwdriver which has a very small, thin blade and it worked like a charm to pop off my stuck key following your excellent instructions. I'm grateful to you for posting this great video. Many thanks!

homies grows out the coke nail so he doesn't need a tool. That's computer repair dedication.

This literally saved me. I was writing my dissertation when I accidentally spilled my coffee on a couple of keys and they got sticky as hell. I followed you guide and now they work better than ever! Thank you!

i was afraid to break my keyboard buttons, but watching your tutorial I managed to safely remove the "1" and "~" buttons and cleaned them from tea drops (contain sugar). i removed them with my nail and it worked man, my keyboard keys work perfectly now. thank you man, i appreciate the tutorial.

Thanks, Because of this video, I was brave enough to open the keyboard

[teiteika]

Thanks so much! My slash (/) key got stuck and your tips for getting debris out without removing the clips did the trick! Actually used a thin paintbrush for details to be able to really get under there and get the little bugger out, really did the trick (:

REALLY HUGE help. Thank you so much. So as an FYI, I usually use a vacuum on keys that work hard and 8 out of 10 times it sucks the crumbs or dust out rendering the key fully operable again. But vacuuming my delete key didn't do it this time around so per Binh Repaired's instructions I removed the delete key, prying from the top with a pin, first starting in the top left corner and then carefully working my way across the top of the key. THEN, I put the vacuum nozzle to it and sucked it all out and while I was at it, I also vacuumed my entire keyboard. Worked like a charm. Thanks!

For the down arrow: the claws are on the left and the hooks are on the right. So when popping it off you want to lever on the left side of the down arrow

worked like a charm. I had been battling one key for years. I can now stop the frustration. Thank you!

[__thylacine]

Thank you for providing a close up of the back side of these keycaps! i couldn't figure out why i couldn't get my keycap back on from other tutorials (shot further back), but thanks to your detailed description and shots, i have now learnt that both of the claws at the top, and one of the hooks at the bottom, have been completely sheared off! D:

just ordered a replacement keycap - thanks for saving me a bunch of time! ;;;;

Thank you! I'm currently trying to revive my old 2016 MBP and your videos have been a huge help. Surprisingly, my butterfly keyboard is working gorgeously but the single LED design of the keyboard shows the smallest skin cell. Need to dust it out and this is super helpful! Ty!

[ElsaBella]

Success! I can now type "R". Thank You. I have a 2012 macbook. I think the key design must be a little different than this one because the key seems to have microscopic hook on top of key with teeny tiny clips on bottom. It was easier to pop off from bottom, not top.

I used my fingernail to pry if off carefully, popped off from bottom of key. There was a tiny bit of dirt around edges of key, but the issue for me was that there is a tiny clear plastic nipple button that is supposed to sit directly under the center of the key, and it had moved out of place so the key was no longer working. I moved it back to center and popped the key back on, again hooking from top and pressing down until the clips popped into place on the bottom of the key. Careful with that little clear plastic button - when brushing the key with an alcohol-dampened cotton-swab, I nearly lost the button. It's clear and tiny.

[bueller]

THANK YOU. This got both my shift keys unstuck with just brushing and blowing on the keys. I think I was accidentally grabbing/prying too deeply in prior efforts to get the keys off. Thanks again.

[makatleho]

I'm so grateful I came across your video. Short, detailed and simple to follow. Problem fixed in a few short minutes.

[andreaanayac]

Thanks A LOT online classes are ruinning my laptop ugh . But thanks to your video i was able to fix it !

[dr.deborahnixon]

This is so helpful. I would never have dared to do this myself and was going to bring to Apple. You saved me lots of time and money!

[kovacshuni]

Helped me a lot! Thank you! If you use the right thin tool, it really works, you won't break it. Just make sure you use the right tool and you're patient enough.

[lensofaboy]

Apple acknowledges this flaw and it is covered under their FREE quality program. I got free repair from Apple Repair Cetre in London. They also fixed spotlight and backlight display issue and thats usually 550 GBP but it was replaced for free. My MBP is 2.5 years old without warranty.

[vmvini]

nice video too! Replaced my battery watching your other video, now going to clean the keys! thanks

[whirrlvr]

I never even thought of using a toothbrush to clean my keys, thank you so much for this video !!!
