Magic Keyboard: Replacing Lightning Port - How/Where to Buy

Thu, 05 Jan 2023 08:53:15 -0700

Hello!

I reached out to iFixIt support for replacing the lightning port on my Magic Keyboard with numeric keypad (A1843). I have a broken gold pin on it so it won’t charge when plugged in. IFixit says they don’t sell replacement ports and I’ve had a hard time sourcing it on Amazon, EBay, etc.

Has anyone been able to replace the port on these and found where they can be bought? IFixIt has a tear down that looks helpful in getting to the port, but comments from users suggest it may be incomplete and have broken their keyboards in the process. Magic Keyboard Teardown

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! I would hate to throw it out for a broken port!

Magic Keyboard: Can you create a silver and black Magic Keyboard

Mon, 07 Feb 2022 01:23:24 -0700

I guess we can all agree that the silver and black Magic Keyboard, that only comes with the Mac Pro, is gorgeous.

So obviously I want to have one, but they are scarce (especially here in Europe) and fittingly expensive, also they only come in with a numeric keypad, while I prefer the added mobility of the smaller formfactor.

Is it possible to buy the smaller silver Magic Keyboard and just swap black key caps on, if so where can I get black key caps (buying a space grey Keyboard doesn’t seem all that effective)?

Also how about the other Magic Accessories, the Magic Mouse seems rather straightforward, but it seems like it is really easy to mess the Trackpads mechanism up.

Magic Keyboard: Replacing keycap and the key does not spring

Sat, 27 Mar 2021 14:41:33 -0700

I popped the space key off to clean some stickiness and now I cannot seem to get the keycap back on and functioning. It clips on, but there is no spring to the key, it’s just stuck in the lower position. I don’t see any damage to the keycap, tension bar, nor the scissor mechanism. All of the videos I see make it seem like it just works. What could I bedding wrong?

Magic Keyboard: 2 keys registered as simultaneously pressed, when they're not

Sat, 19 Nov 2016 10:15:19 -0700

Hello good people,

Here's the situation:

When I press either the return/enter key or the P key on my Magic Keyboard, the keyboard/computer registers both keys as being pressed at once; they are "paired", if you will. This has been verified with the "Show keyboard viewer" feature enabled. Very bizarre. I've tried unpairing and pairing again multiple times, to no avail. It continues to happen even when connected to my MBP through the lightning cable and bluetooth turned off.

The portentous background to this is that I'd recently applied some rubbing alcohol to two keys on the other side of the keyboard that were sticking, though I did manage to get mixed up a few times and likely got some isopropyl underneath the keys in question as well. So I'm guessing that it's related, but it's still weird as !&&*!

Anyone got any ideas?
