you know you can just pop out the keys and click em back in...

@Diablocabra That doesn't help a whole lot if the circuitry underneath them is fried, which is the case 99.9% of the time when a liquid spill occurs.

Hi There, excellent tutorial.

I have a little question. Can I use a top case from Macbook pro 15" 2009 in my Macbook Pro 15" 2011? I means, are these two top cases interchangeable?

Thank you

Dude i dnt knw how to assemble the wiring back proper can u please make an assembly vid :)

[rdklinc]

@hairul20 I'm not sure what you mean by "wiring"....

@bramVE239 Wow, that's a new one. I suspect you would have to change a setting in System Preferences. As a test I would look for that setting and see if you can switch it right now (in the software) from querty to azerty. If that works, you know what's left is simply swapping out the keyboard.

@Evangelos1991 eBay -- eBay is always the place for pretty much anything.

@ThaFooooosa If you're replacing the topcase with keyboard, it's not that difficult a repair. I'd check out iFixit and look up the guide.

I can get a macbook pro 13 (april 2010) for £375, however the keyboard doesnt work, but an external one does.

how much will it cost to get it repaired, its only £30 For the keyboard and £60 for the unibody case, this seems fairly hard to fix :(
