From one sticky key to a spilled coffee

On low-travel keyboards there is barely any room under the key, so a crumb or a grain of sand is enough to make the mechanism stick or register twice. Liquid is a different story: it does not stay on top but runs down to the membrane and the board underneath, where the damage carries on long after the surface has dried. On many recent laptops the keyboard is riveted into the top case together with the battery and the trackpad, so replacing it means replacing that whole assembly. It is precise work and therefore workshop work: count on one to two working days rather than waiting at the counter.

One top case, three parts

On recent MacBooks the keyboard, trackpad and battery are riveted into the top case. Convenient for the factory; for a repair it means a single dead key could in theory cost you the whole assembly. So we work at part level where we can rather than swapping the case as a unit. The same goes for the logic board: where many workshops write a board off, we measure it out and replace the component causing the fault. If your model has a Touch ID sensor, it is paired to the board, so it keeps working through a board repair — but not through a board replacement, and we tell you that up front.
