Hey guys,
Does anyone have any directions for lifting off a key on the MacBook Pro retina keyboard? I have a squeaky spacebar and I'd like to avoid the hassle of taking this in to the Apple store which is a decent trip to get to. Seems like it'd be an easy fix to just lube the key mechanism a bit an dpop it back on.
Thanks!
Pulling keys is not an easy thing to do with breaking it. I would take the trip and have it done right so you do not take the reponsibility if something goes wrong. They have the tools and maybe it might need something else other than lube. (I'm not even sure that there is lube) Maybe someone else in the community has some insight into this. All the best

You are still under warranty. If you mess up, your warranty will be voided. Apple Stores are not the only places to have a Mac repaired -

Thanks guys, you're probably right that I should just bring it in then. No Need to void warranty, I didn't think of that angle.
Were it a regular model, I too would suggest pulling the keycap and cleaning the debris below. But the ultrathin Retina has a special keyboard and keycaps are made out of unobtainium! So yeah, take it in and have them earn their keep.
