    2017 MPB "T" key mechanism is broken

    I own a 2017 13" MBP and recently the "T" key has become dislodged and won't click into place (yping his has been raher annoying). It appears there is a broken nub off of the butterfly key -- see photo for details. I'm a writer so this has been a rather large pain in the ass. How much will it...

Took it to apple who ran a few tests and said that it might be due to trackpad flex which this model is common for. However, after he ran a few tests and plugged in an external...

    MBP Keyboard Not Working At All

    Hey MacRumors Peeps! I've been searching for someone who's had a similar issue on the internet, and I'm not finding much. Probably because of so many other keyboard issues with these MBP's. Anyway, mine seems to be different. I booted up my 2016 15" MBP w/ TB yesterday morning to find that the...

    How to make my battery deplete faster MCP

    I know this sounds weird, but I took my MCP to the apple store because the keyboard started malfunctioning. They told me it would be $475 because they need to replace the entire front (battery pack, keyboard, trackpad) but if my battery's condition required a change, then the price would drop by...

    MBP 2016/17 Keyboard Issue Follow Up: Top Case Manufacture Date?

    Got my MBP 2017 back today from Apple. Save for a minor issue, it went pretty smoothly. Given some users have mentioned that getting their top case replaced didn't fix the issue and that the issue ultimately returned a few months later, I'm curious whether Apple has made improvements in their...

    MacBook Pro 2016 Keyboard Failure

    My 2016 15’’ MacBook Pro arrived yesterday (as one of the first). 63 of the 64 keys work fine. But the i-key most of the time types the letter twice. I suggest you test out your keyboard thoroughly. With auto-correct it can be easy to think it works. However, my password contains the letter i...
