My up arrow button fell off my keyboard and as I was trying to put it back on myself from watching YouTube videos, I accidentally broke the butterfly hinge. Before I buy a new key, I was wondering how much it cost to take it to apple and ask them to replace that one key? Or if it would cost anything if I bought a key on my own and simply asked them to put it on? (I don’t have warranty)
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.14
There was mention of a Mac portable keyboard replacement, article here;
not certain of what detail may apply to your specific build model issue:
• Keyboard Service Program for MacBook, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/keyboard-service-program-for-mac-notebooks
Some third-party sites may show certain keys that could (or not) be replaced
by an end-user or acquired from their site for independent repairs. Look here:
• Apple Macbook Air Replacement Keys | Keyboard Keys | Keypad Keys
https://www.replacementlaptopkeys.com/macbook-air/
These kinds of key replacement often include small wear items; however
each has whatever parts for each key face and underneath parts in sets.
Includes key part images, & on-site video to show how these are replaced.
Worth at least some effort to determine which key parts and how they work.
• Apple Repair and Repair Status Check - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/repair
You may see if the repair can be mailed in for correct service.
They could offer to send you a return box, in some instances.
Take care & good luck!🌞🎣
We are all other users here so we would not know what Apple will charge. If you have an open Apple store near you, I'd suggest taking it in and asking what they can do. I've read that they may exchange it and you can see if/how much they are asking for it.
how much does it cost to replace a key?
