Do the keyboard keys on the M2 2780 unclip as easily as on the M1 Macbook Pros?

Do both keyboards use the same clipping system?

--------------------------------------------------

Bonjour,

j'ai besoin de changer quelques touches sur un clavier de MacBook Pro M2 model 2780. J'ai j'ai trouvé des touches de remplacements chez des vendeurs, des touches compatibles avec les M1 2485 & M2 2780, pourriez-vous me confirmer que les touches du 2485 sont bien les mêmes que celles du 2780?

Si oui, est-ce que les touches du clavier du M2 2780 se déclipsent aussi facilement que sur les Macbook Pro M1 ?

Les deux claviers utilisent-ils le même système de clipsage ?

I recived The parts from TheBookYard and I got the computer fixed.

I used parts from a 2021 Macbook Pro, they were compatible with the 2023 model.

I Ordered:

• 1 x Up/down MacBook Pro/Air (Type-R) : Grade-A
• 1 x Scissor Clip - Arrow Keys (Type-R) : Recycled

Final Result:

The customer suport at TheBookYard was great! thanks @danj fo the sugestion!

I bought a new MagSafe 3 charger and the amber light immediately came on.

24 hours later, even long-press doesn’t work.

My theory is the original MagSafe 3 cable failed and the battery went completely flat before I noticed.

I’m no expert but I recall the Clamshell batteries had a suicide switch to prevent lithium fires.

Do I have to replace my entire top shell?

I’ve been reading online, but I’m still not sure about one thing:

When replacing the screen on an M2 MacBook, do you also need to replace the Lid Angle Sensor, or is there a way to calibrate it instead?

Also, is True Tone completely unrecoverable after a screen replacement?

Thanks again!

I'm in the UK

Mine came loose I tightened it (stripping the paint) and then realised I probably voided the warranty with that. I've seen places refuse to service devices that have been opened so figured I should probably replace my screws.

If yes, what drives can I use, and how do I do it?

The computer worked for one day and stopped turning on.

The charge indicator does not light up when the charging cable is connected.

What if it is possible to revive him after this?

There was some liquid and traces of electrolysis on the motherboard:

Everything was dry under the lid and on the back side:

After cleaning:

Please tell me what can be done with this motherboard to revive the computer, if at all there is a chance?

------------------------------------

I checked the battery today and it is completely discharged. And when connected it does not charge. It turns out that the computer turned off when the battery ran out.

There is 0 volt on these contacts (MagSafe). Shouldn't it be 3v by default and 16,5 under load?

The charging unit is working, I tested it on an old MacBook Pro 2019.

Need I try to buy a new charging cable?

Or try to charge the battery directly from the charging unit and check the functionality of the board on a charged battery?

I accidentally spilled less than a cups worth of sparkling water onto my computer, immediately turned it off, put it upside down and dryed it. For a bit less than an hour, I pointed a heater towards the keyboard, I put the temperature to more or less imitate the chassis getting hot under a huge load, or working outside in a hot environment.

The laptop still works fine, diag showed no errors, hopefully no corrosion, but after this, the sound appeared when pressing the left side bottom. It's driving my OCD, so I was wondering, Could the heater have caused it? I should probably have it checked out? I looked at the teardowns, and there doesn't seem to be anything that might be impacted.

Opinion appreciated, thank you!

Ok thanks, is it better now? Took pics from all sides

I spilled soda on my MacBook keyboard several months ago and the keys are still sticky. They get worse when I run high compute functions such as rendering or Final Cut Pro, probably due to heat. Apple wants $1,500 to fix it because they require a full liquid-damage assessment to ensure it didn't damage other internal components. I'm willing to pay but not that much.

I'm not seeing a keyboard for this model on iFixit, anybody know if the keyboard in this model can be replaced or where I can find the parts?

Thanks,

John

I’ve done plenty of Mac screen replacements, but this one I hear has a chip that I need to swap out. Can anybody detail that process?

Also, can anyone verify that serial number (in other words the specific model)? I’m not finding it on any of my usual resources, due to its recent release.

Thank you.

As will all items over $500, I marked it near the cables and filmed the entire procedure from removing the screen, testing it, then packaging it.

THERE'S NO WAY I sent him a screen with burn marks... He either &&^&@@ it up (in which I can do nothing about) or he's trying to pull a fast one on me.

I need to make sure that he returns MY PRODUCT and not his own old broken screen, so I'm wondering if the screens are serialized and how to get the number off of it.

About 10 years ago..., I swapped a genuine Apple screen for another on a 2011 15" MacBook and when the logic board crashed, I took it to get replaced under the "Extended Warranty Program" only to be DENIED by the genius. What was his justification? He claimed that someone's installed an "aftermarket screen". Now, this was a genuine screen, but that's besides the point. He KNEW it wasn't the original screen, and had been replaced. MY QUESTION IS: If I reinstall this panel back into the computer, how can I tell if it's the original screen?
