Replace Keyboard - Macbook 13" Mid 2010 (white unibody)

If yours is a MacBook 13-inch unibody A1342 (2.26 or 2.4) that likely is one

which requires the Upper Case totally dissected to get to the keyboard.

However Model A1342 number covers both 'Late 2009, 6.1, EMC 2350' + also

the 'Mid 2010, 7.1, EMC 2395' so there may be slight differences between them.

(Other than processor, bus or other specs. See Mactracker.ca or Everymac.)

The DIY guide repair links provide step by step & in some portions, also video.

Given so many differently made models of MacBook (2006 to 2010) the

keyboard replacement varies a bit across the series. This covers that:

This guide indicates the task involved quite a take-apart to get this far.

And I'd venture to say more than a few have tried & succeeded; while

others may have paid someone, or had someone they know do this task.

Best to look at this from several angles before proceeding, to avoid issues

in the processes of take-apart and reassembly.

Good luck!😐

ive replaced my keyboard its not to hard for me but i can also build a computer

Most things of tedium aren't hard for me.

I've also been a bench jeweler, set gem

stones, metalsmith, fabricate, repair, etc.

The hardest Mac repairs I had to deal with

came about after I bought new ones that

had AppleCare. I could have easily repaired

them, but had to take them to incompetent

authorized independent service provider...

at great distance & expense; they failed.

However I've owned over 250 Macs and

only the new ones promised to work on

delivery. The others I knew didn't, at first.

And as a matter of experience, I have done

a few hundred successful restorations.

But no longer. Do not have time or facilities.

So I suggest the original poster, who likely

does not have an active Applecare plan, be

careful in attempting anything new or deep

into some unfamiliar territory. I see posts of

those who tried something within their reach

but out of their grasp; it gets worse, then.

Anyway, that's sometimes the luck of first draw... 🙂
