It usually happens over time, as food crumbs, dust, and other substances get into a keyboard, causing it to get stuck. The MacBook’s spacebar is stuck down, even if the user is not pushing it and it appears to be stuck in place. Eventually, those might get into the keyboard and it might start to feel…different. It took out the lid-closing circuit, so the thing permanently thought the lid was closed! Fortunately I managed to disable it in BIOS and it's run okay ever since (actually re-installing it for my cousin now!).Who does not eat a sandwich or sip a coffee at their desk? Even if a company offers a cafeteria or if you work remotely, it is not uncommon to see someone unpack their brown bag lunch at their workstation.ĭespite a person’s best interest, sometimes small scraps of food might fall onto a person’s MacBook Pro. Was out on a mine commissioning an instrument and just "had" to complete one last test.under the rain. I had a pleasant experience with an Acer notebook a few years ago. You can always ask them to ring you before carrying out any expensive replacements and at that point you can either decide to run it until it dies or go ahead with the Apple repair. Taking it in to Apple will give you peace of mind at the very least and then probably some form of warranty on the work carried out.as opposed to zero warranty now. To try and strip a brand-new notebook of that sort is unthinkable, in my view. As is, you have no idea if it'll boot tomorrow. It's a new (high-end) notebook that I'm sure you want to last a few years. I'd bring it in to Apple and let them check it out, for the following reasons.
#Clean mac keyboard sticky keys how to#
Like I said, I am hoping some wizard on Youtube will do a tutorial on how to remove the keys and save my hair from falling out. I might as well clean the thing with fire as I've seen what that stuff can do. I will definitely not be using brake cleaner, petrol or otherwise. I won't be claiming for the machine on the house insurance as we move home at the end of the month and you may appreciate the complications involved.ĥ. The fact that the spillage may cause more significant damage if left worries me tremendously, but so far all is okay.Ĥ. I have thought about using an alcohol based cleaner, but I would rather learn how to remove the keys and individually inspect underneath removing all contaminants as apposed to just alleviating the stickiness.ģ. The Mac is still running OK, with no problems on the face of it (I am typing this message on it).Ģ. Many thanks to all of the above users for your input, I very much appreciate it, and also sorry I haven't been more prompt in replying to you.ġ.
I don't have an Apple showroom anywhere near to me so I would like an idea before I go, if anyone could shed some light on this problem.
#Clean mac keyboard sticky keys for free#
Ĭan I ask for some advice on what to do about the keys and would a Genius bar be able to replace/repair it for free under the warrantee, or would I be liable to a big bill at the end. I was definitely one of the first in the UK to receive mine as it was ordered within 5 minutes of the Apple store updating, and I can fairly assume I'm one of the first stupid people to have nearly ruined their machine. I have googled on how to remove/replace keys on older MBPs but there is nothing on the retina MBP thus far, it is understandable as the thing is brand new and people are getting to grips with it still. I spilt beer on the top left corner of it and now 10 keys are annoyingly crunching and sticking. I've had my MBP for two weeks and I have done the unthinkable. Hi everyone, I'm a brand new Mac Forums member and I bought my first Mac on the day of the 2012 WWDC.
