How to correctly fix the Spacebar key! Here - Apple MacBook Pro Unibody

[boredmau5]

Könnt ihr auch bitte ein Video machen, damit ich das Ding erstmal rauskriege?

Die Tasten am MBP sind ja so empfindlich, da hab ich wenig Bock die Taste zu schrotten. ^^

Aber so eine Taste ohne richtigen Druckpunkt ist doof...

[AbsintheWitch]

Thanks, this works on Asus! :D

[Banmanator]

[apfeltasten]

@NissernesO It's at least similar, maybe not 100% the same but the closest you can get.

[NissernesO]

[dontbelikedat11]

why is there hair under my spacebar?

[apfeltasten]

@dontbelikedat11 I bet you won't like the answer, but you seem to lose hair or you have a pet.

[TheWildenism]

damn.it....now.my.fucking.spac­ebar.doesn't.even.work..

[WarlosPS3]

I need help, I did everything but my spacebar teeter totters, it's never even, it's really loose

[apfeltasten]

@WarlosPS3 Have you reinstalled it like shown in this video or do you think about doing it to get it fixed?

[darlingtonflute]

@WarlosPS3 had exactly the same problem. If you take it off again, and look at the 2 white bracket things, there's some tiny holes in them that correspond with hooks on the underneath of the key. when you put it back on, press down firmly in exactly these places and it'll click once more :) it sounds stupid, and you're probably thinking 'I'm not an idiot, I clicked the whole thing until it wouldn't click any more', but that worked for me :)

[TheMemitt]

Man, I love you!!!! Thanks!!

[apfeltasten]

@TheMemitt I wouldn't go that far to talk about love, but you are welcome ;-)

[RandomLamp]

Thanks ^^

[IngrossoSeb]

does it work the same for a white macbook (not pro)

[apfeltasten]

@IngrossoSeb yep, only the white plastic hinges could differ a little, but that doesn't change the way to do it

[IamNatatos]

Thank you I had a big thing under mine and couldn't get it back on.

[dopebudz]

@TisGiraf For removing the spacebar, this video shows how in detail:

"MacBook spacebar detail fixing, cleaning, or replacing"

He is using a macbook but the removal process is exactly the same for unibody macbook pros. I just spilt juice under my spacebar and thanks to these two videos it juice-free again.

[alexthethird83]

thank u, what a big help.

[Exisity]

Fixed it thanks :)

[apfeltasten]

@Exisity Good job, as I can see it took you about 4 minutes :-)

[Exisity]

fuckfinallyavideo!hopethiswork­skeyboardisstillfucked!

[TheCabbage1993]

i dont how you put in the hinges

[TheCabbage1993]

explain more....

[Tankema123]

@TisGiraf when i removed it i pulled apart a paperclip and used a point on it to wedge under parts of the space key and then with a bit of force lift it up and then get my nails under it and eventually those metal parts will unclick off the space key and it will come off.

[Tankema123]

thanks heaps man! my spacebar was going all sticky and not pressing properly so i removed it and tried to put it back on but didnt know a technique that would make it work and then i tried this and it worked third time lucky :D

[apfeltasten]

@TisGiraf Hi, ok I will try to give you the idea of detaching the spacebar.

There are several tools that's good for this task. I am using a tool shown in 0:30 in this video (metal pin)

1. Start from the side and work your way around the key both ways on the top and on the bottom. You have to do this to remove the metalbars from the key.

2. Now lift the key a little and check where the white plastic mechanisms are. Pull the key on the top site straight upwards from the mechanisms are.

[apfeltasten]

@TisGiraf Detach the metal bars and drop it into a bowl with water. To detach it check the other videos on the right side, but take care! I haven't found a really good one yet. They all risk damage!

[homePicShow1]

What year is this computer and does it have vertical or horizontal clips?

[tito533]

xcan you show ho to remove it

[apfeltasten]

@tito533 You shouldn't remove it, unless you really got to. It's quiet difficult.

You will need a tool like shown in the video. Go around the top part and remove the metal bar. Then you have to detach the key from the white clips.

[tito533]

@apfeltasten MY SPACE BAR SOMETIMES GETS STUCK SO I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO

[apfeltasten]

@tito533 Could be a little grain of sand or something. You could try to pull the key up (just a little bit) and then blow it away. Just blow all around the key, maybe it helps...
