Mid-2015 MBP 15” Retina display. On the motherboard, the keyboard data connector (i.e. the connector with that little open/close flip-up / flip-down tab, into which the keyboard data cable connects)… I flipped up that tab and it snapped off. Is that tab a ‘must have’ or is just a ‘nice to have’? aside: my laptop will not power-up, but I don’t know if that’s because that open/close tab on the connector is now missing (causing a weak connection?) or because I’ve maybe damaged the keyboard data cable whilst trying to force it into connector (when I didn’t realise that little open / close tab was there). Any suggestions?

Hi do you need to remove everything or only the battery to clean out the trackpad? I think I just have crud in there and already have battery replacement. But don’t want to replace trackpad when it still clicks

Thinking about putting colored gels behind my keyboard to tint the backlight. Would I have to remove the battery if I’m not working on the trackpad? (Same size and model as the Retina in this video)

Okay what the actual fuck. Here i was thinking i could repair my 2015 15 inch retina the same way i did my 2011 13 inch back in the day, but i am starting to realize that there is no way my macbook will survive if i attempt what you did

Yikes! I ordered a new keyboard, watched this video, and immediately canceled my order. I've replaced SSD, battery, etc, but no way am i tackling this. If nothing else, the video serves to demonstrate the complexity of the job, if not precise instruction.

What's your methodology for prying up the rivets? I see the tool you use but because it's sped up, I can't see exact details like if you're prying up or wiggling side to side etc. Would help a lot as I plan to do this on my own, thanks!
@QdevRo4 жыл бұрын
Yeah, I would be interested into this as well. Unfortunately almost all of my rivets remained fixed to the body. As far as I could see on mine, I think they're threaded. I succeded to get only one off using some other tool, which for sure it'll not do the job as it schreds the aluminium off and shrinks it, I'll try with a cutter like indicated

Does the battery need to be removed when only taking the keyboard off and not the touchpad? If so, what tool did you use to remove the batteries?
@NorthridgeFix6 жыл бұрын
The tool used to remove the battery can be found at amzn.to/2GRPHLR. You can get 4 different sizes for about $7. Yes we always remove the battery so we can remove the plastic ribbits and screw the keyboard back in.

Can you change the actual keys on a macbook to key of another language? Like, you have a Macbook Pro with a US keyboard. Can you change this to a spanish one? I'm talking about hardware not software.
@NorthridgeFix5 жыл бұрын
You can if you want to change all the keys. An easier and cheaper way would be to either use stickers over the keys or a Spanish keyboard cover like this one amzn.to/2SZYxu1. Make sure you choose one that fits your laptops model.

Help ... my 2015 ... 15 inch retina is now powering up to login screen... power button works BUT no other keys nor trackpad works... SOMETIMES I’m offered Bluetooth by pop up screen after long wait.. so sometimes I can use remote Bluetooth keypad and mouse... also attempt to plug into remote monitor failed... can someone advise?

You don’t need to remove the battery. Just buy the new keyboard with screws. Just did it on my 2015 MacBook Pro w/o removing the battery/ trackpad, just the logic board.

Hey there. So I peeled off the keyboard backing and it appears healed in place by faceless metal rivets. Is this normal/will it still pop off? Thanks
@gnostie6 жыл бұрын
You carefully rip off the rivets to make sure they all come out, then use 100 or so tiny screws with ph000 heads in the place of rivets, to screw in place the new keyboard. The screws you buy on eBay or some such place.

we know there is money to be made with this type of effort so what you dont have to spend in apple parts you can put in your own. not too many people are willing to subject themselves to this labor but it pays well so why not! otherwise, you can just get a job at your local grocery store! feel me?
