In this video I show how to remove various keys on an M1 MacBook Air laptop. I cover the more difficult keys as well such as the spacebar, shift, return, and delete keys. Extreme caution and care must be used when taking these keys off. You do not need to apply hardly any force to detach or re-attach the keys once they are removed. If you have hulk hogan fingers you probably shouldn’t attempt this.

Thank you so much, I fixed my shift key using this video and I was not that soft I did it like a real pro mechanic lol. Though these look really delegate I would say they are made really solid, hard to break them if you have right tools. I took a picture of old setup just in case but its pretty obvious I don't think you can put them wrong way and able to click them so no much worry. Thanks again.

Hi. Could you help me out? I'm out of the country and dont have access to an applestore. I removed the delete key 2 times, because I thought it was sticky. Turned out to be clean. Never figured out the problem. I was able to follow the steps to replace it the first time. However the second time the key stayed flat, as if there wasn't a rubbercup or whatever allows the key to float. But it's still there. What can I do?
@alphaboardrepair5285
@alphaboardrepair5285 2 года назад
Something is bound up in the key. Remove it and try again. Make sure you didn’t install the hinge upside down.

@@verletzt546 make sure to align the metal bars correctly and do not force anything. If you break the small plastic snaps on the plastic black key itself, it will have to be replaced. Once the snap breaks it will no longer stay attached. Look very carefully and see if anything is broken on the key itself. Also make sure you have the white scissor mechanism installed correctly and not upside down. It will only go in one way.

@alphaboardrepair5285 2 года назад
Thanks for sharing! You do know there is a skip feature right? It’s a 40 min video because there’s a lot to taking these keys apart, and different keys have different ways to come apart. If you want to see how certain keys come apart then skip around until you find it.

@Delusional K skip to 36:27 for the space key. But essentially yes, it has the metal bars but there’s many more clips.

well this definitely made some of my keys 100% worse they won't stay in place when I put them back
@alphaboardrepair5285
@alphaboardrepair5285 10 месяцев назад
That’s because you likely forced them and broke the clips. You have to be very careful doing this. These keys only come off one way as they are designed.

@@dustinbossmusic what model M1 MacBook do you have? I as well as many others have done this with no issues. Are you 100% certain you installed the scissor mechanism in the proper orientation? If you have a newer M1 Mac (newer than the A2337) this process may not work. I have not tested key removal on newer macs.
@alphaboardrepair5285
@alphaboardrepair5285 10 месяцев назад
If the key will no longer snap all the way back down and stays kicked up, then the clips are broken on the key itself (black plastic part). It will need to be replaced but luckily those are very cheap to buy. It’s still possible no matter how careful you are to break a key clip, they are just so tiny and delicate. No matter what they only come off one way, so don’t feel too bad if one breaks.
