YOU ARE THE BEST!!! I was quoted $600 (as a discounted price none the less) to do what you taught me how to do for only $13. I have always suspected Apple of ripping people off like this, but now I have the experience to back it up. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dude, that’s awesome! Glad I could help! Knowledge is power. You and people like you are why I started the channel. Thanks for watching and please consider subscribing!
I was quoted the same price, $600 for a under $20 fix. Blows my mind.
Yea, pretty crazy what they try to charge. Glad you got it fixed!
What is the of cable ?? Where i buy this one
well now you can start a business and charge that much too~
I’m a physician with zero experience of fixing things, let alone an apple device. I rarely write reviews on TH-cam but today I thought it be unfair to you if I didn’t. Because of you, I fixed my MacBook Pro without spending time, energy and money at apple service! You simply ROCK. Keep it up. I’m gonna check out your whole channel just because of of how simple and useful this was 👍👍
I’m so glad it helped you out. These type comments keep me going. I try to show everyone that they can fix things too. You’re a shining example! Thanks for watching!
Omg it worked!!!! I’m speechless. I haven’t been able to use my MacBook for the past two years and kept putting off repairing it. Watched this video, ordered the screwdrivers and cable from your links, and did the repair just now. I can’t thank you enough !!!!!
That’s great! Thanks for watching!
You saved me a new computer... Took it to the apple store and they said "oxidation in the computer." $400 for them to just look at it and $700 for them to fix it if it is oxidation. Saw this video and tried it out and can't believe it worked! You're awesome, dude... keep it up!
That’s great! I’m glad it worked for you! I have found Apple to be useful with software problems, but hardware issues generally get made into bigger deals than they are. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much! I am a graphic design professor and I have been using a bluetooth keyboard and mouse for my MacBook Pro for the last 8 months. My symptoms were identical to those described, but I had no idea the fix could be that simple, that cheap, or that quick! Thanks again!
That's great, I'm so glad it helped you out. Thanks for watching!
I came here to give you my deepest thanks. I've been dealing with the unresponsive keyboard and trackpad for almost a week now. They would only work at login and then completely be undetectable. I followed your tutorial, expecting to possibly need a new ribbon cable, but I decided to disconnect and then reconnect it, and now they work again! I'm so glad I came across this video; you're the best.
YOU MY FRIEND, ARE A LEGEND!!!! Went to two places and both charged me 200-400 dollars to fix!!! Spent 20 bucks (screw set and cable) and it now works like a charm!!! Thank you!
Awesome, glad I could help! Thanks for watching. Consider subscribing to the channel if you like these kinds of videos.
You're a lifesaver man! Been having issues with my trackpad/keyboard for like 3 months now and this fixed it in 15 minutes for like $20. Thank you so much!
That’s great, Colin. Glad I could help!
You saved my life. I was told it takes about $200 to repair the Trackpad and Keyboard. After i watch this, I bought the cable, pentalobe, and spare screw for $13. I do as you tell in your video and the problem fixed. You are a hero.
Glad to hear it!
@@IAmAFixer Can't thank you enough
Tip for anyone having the same problem: before replacing the cable with a new one, just open the Macbook and clean it up a little bit. I was desperate but i just took of the cable, clean it and now the computer works better than before. Anyway, thank you a lot for this video, you saved me hundreds of euros and days of mantainance.
No problem, thanks for the tip.
How did you clean it? Do I need compressed air? I just opened it and it’s extremely dusty all over Or if the creator sees this can you please make a video! I’m a desperate college student😭😭
@@van3ssaaaaa At the time of my comment I think I just cleaned the cable itself. I unplugged it, cleaned from the dust with a cloth, the plugged it back in. If you want to clean the rest of the logic board you can use a soft brush and a vacuum. Softair may damage some parts.
This worked for my fiancees early 2015 MacBook Pro. Followed the instructions exactly and bought the items from his links. I bought her a new macbook, fixed this one and now it’s mine. Awesome
Glad to hear it worked. Thanks for watching!
I had the same problem back 2018 and I fixed it because of this instead of the overpriced repair fee from Apple. I ordered an extra ribbon cable because I knew at some point in the future this problem will be back. Now, after four years, the anticipated problem occurred and I redid the whole thing, and my old precious Macbook worked perfectly again.
Thanks a lot, Man, for the second time. You are helping a lot of people. :D
That’s great, thanks for sharing. You’re welcome.
This video damn near saved my life... i was at the end of my rope; jobless, almost evicted and a fridge without food. on top of that my laptop (all i had left) decided to shit out on me.... the local computer shop quoted me $900 for this fix. Same price i paid for the damn computer. that was my lowest point, that quote almost broke me.... somehow by the grace of god i found this video and a community who could relate to my problems.. i mean it when i say this... you guys ARE MY PEOPLE... thank you I Am A Fixer for all you have done. My laptop is now once again functional. I have scored a 6 figure job, the girl of my dreams and my passion for life has returned. I couldn't have done it without you and this amazing community. Thanks again.
jk but hell yeah this video saved me $400 bucks thanks bro lmao
Haha… got me! Great comment, and I’m glad it helped you out!
Hi, had the same issue. The first time I followed all the instructions but it still didn't work. So I kept on looking for alternative solutions until I saw that it could have been an issue with the flex cable I ordered (defective). I decided to try again by ordering a new flex cable from a different brand and, miracle, it did work!!!! I am so glad I found out this video and finally fixed my Mac after months that I was using a wired keyboard & mouse, and even bought a new Mac! Thank you so much, you are my saver!!! :)
Ordered the cable and the screws for less than 25 bucks, repaired it, it works. So amazing! Thanks ❤️
So I almost went the repair route like many here. We were going to have to wait 10 days and lots of cash for my wife to get her work computer back up and running. After leaving the apple store discouraged, I searched for a solution and found this. I clicked your links for the tools and the parts and had it fixed in less than 30 minutes from start to finish. I was a little unclear about how the clamp on the ribbon cable worked and was pretty nervous I was going to break something, but there was another tutorial that zoomed in closer. My 2 cents is that on those really small components, get close enough that folks viewing on their phones can see it clearly (since our computers aren't working afterall :) ). Thats nit picky. In the end, I enjoyed your delivery and explanation and am grateful for the fact that you bother to share this stuff with all of us.
Glad it helped you out. Thanks for watching!!
Yay! Thank you so much!! I’ve been having problems with this computer for a month (the first month of this quarter in college) And was so frustrated. I ordered the part but I cleaned the computer w an air compressor and noticed the sticky part of the ribbon cable was filled with dust so I took that piece off and it’s working perfectly and now I have the new ribbon cable just in case! You are the best!
My trackpad and keyboard would stop working after I would close and open my laptop. My solution was to just never close it. Except for one day when I opened it and couldn't get my trackpad or keyboard to work again no matter what I tried. I bought the ribbon cable off Amazon and followed your steps and boom everything works perfectly again. Thanks for saving me from having to buy a new laptop! Cheers!
Glad to hear. Thanks for watching!
Just a note to thank you for posting this. I tried your fix for my non-functioning 2015 Macbook Pro and it worked a treat! I'm relieved it was such a simple fix - but the fact that the component failed in an Apple somewhat dented my 'faith' a little in the much touted quality of the brand. Though this was somewhat restored by what I felt was the quality build of the insides of the Mac - certainly by comparison to pretty much all of the other laptops I've opened up over the years... Nicely done but a shame to be let down by one measly and pretty cheap component...
I agree with everything you said. Glad it helped you out!
This was very helpful, I just had the same problem, my 2015 MacBook Pro keyboard and touch pad suddenly stopped working. I have tried all types of restarts and it didn't help but then after watching this video I just opened up my MacBook and disconnected that cable and put the same cable back in place...thats all I've done and it worked. I was about to order new cable but it seems it just got loose from vibration and daily use of moving laptop. Thank you for your advice! You saved me a lot of time and money!!!
I have never fixed anything in my life but I watched your video, ordered the parts, watched the video again and fixed it!!! You are amazing! Thank you!!!!
That’s great, Ronald. You’re the person I started the channel for. To show you, you can do it. Now go fix something else! Thanks for watching!
Worked like a charm! Thank you! Fixed it on my own for $19 vs $169+tax at a third-party repair shop.
Thanks a lot fixed it by following this vid for under £20 tech shop was trying to charge me £80 glad i came across this and did it myself
Glad to hear!
Dude, I just changed the battery in my mid 2015 macbook pro and the keyboard would not work after powering it on, mouse did though. I did a quick search and found this video and thought well, lets take it apart and check the cable, I removed it and replaced it again, put it all together and it works perfect now. I got the idea from your video. thanks brother...
Glad to hear it! Thanks for sharing!
man this is an old vid but it saved me from spending a lot of money. Thank you Thank you. Costed me 19$ for the screw drivers and the rippon on Amazon. Yessszir
Thanks for this super helpful video! After seeing the part where you say the cable seems a bit loose after removing the plate, I turned my computer upside down and pressed on the same spot (without opening it up). I turned it back upright and pressed on the spot above my trackpad, powered on my computer, and I'm typing this from my built in keyboard again woo!!! So I'm pretty sure it's just a loose cable that needs to be reseated. Ordering the screwdrivers now and will get the cable if it seems like it needs to be replaced. Thanks again and again!
That’s great! Glad it helped you out! Thanks for watching.
After reading your comment I tried what you said, turned mac upside down and pushed down on area thats the back of the trackpad, then turned it over and pushed hard there also. It worked! But i think im going to order the ribbon cable and the screwdrivers cos it keeps getting displaced. Did yours become faulty again after you did what you mentioned?
@@seetruth304 I did wind up needing to replace the cable per the instructions here and haven't had a problem since! It was scary but I did it and I'm still quite proud of myself 😅 It was pretty easy though - you can do it!
Hi. You are the best.Thank you! I bought the cable and did like the Video. Now my MackBook Pro work again. THANK YOU YOU ARE AMAZING.
Thank you thank you thank you!!!! I am a nurse and don’t anything about computers! This video is incredible! Thank you! Parts a cheap, and the fix works!
Glad it helped you out. Thanks for watching!
Hi man! i'm really appreciate You that You have done that video. Now my mac pro function great. The company wanted for repairing around 600 dollars. I fixed it for 5 dollars. Amazing! It's really works!
Thanks, Oleksandr, I’m glad it helped you. It’s crazy how much people have been quoted to fix this simple issue. Thanks for watching!
I was hesitant doing this, but out of frustration I did. It works! Thanks!
That’s great! I’m glad it helped you out!
Super helpful. You saved me a least $200. I just paid fo the ribbon and the screwdrivers around 23 bucks. Thanks a lot
You bet! Glad it helped you out!
Thanks much! You saved me so much cash. People like you make everyone's day better.
Thanks man, I’m glad I could help, and glad you got it fixed. Thanks for watching!
Thank you very much for this video. The Service Center People Quoted me $400 to repair. I change cable as per your guide and it`s worked. Thank you so much for the video again.
That’s great, Kiran. I’m glad I could help. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much. I have tried all the tricks but no success . Now I watch your video. It worked . 🙏
That’s great, Kassim. Glad it helped. Thanks for watching!
You ARE the best!!! Worked like a charm! My daughter & I did it step by step with your video and all worked immediately. Good feeling to fix a hardware problem.
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching!
I went to a local business that repairs and services computers, they quoted me $475 for fixing the laptop. I was shooketh to the core hearing that price. I researched, watched a couple of DIY repair tutorials, and fixed it myself for less than $12.
The Computer services and repairs industry is a huge rip-off, just like the Auto-Mechanic industry.
There’s a few honest folks out there, but few and far between. Glad you got it fixed!
As the owner of NyQuest Adventures Computer Repair, I could not agree with you more. You were helping to pay the rent for that nice shop you walked into. That is the number one reason I'm in business. All through Covid, that was the number one beef all my clients had when they found me. I'm proud my business model is; "Protect ur Tech" It's just Economic Computing! Check me out, just for thrills, no sale!!! Back up talk with facts... Holla
Thank you so much!!!! This solved my friend's problem and you made it so simple for us to understand and we fixed it ourselves! We ordered the part and tools needed and it works!! Amazing! Thank you a thousand times!
You’re welcome! Glad it helped you out.
Great video!! Thank you. Same thing happened on my early 2015 13"Pro after replacing a bloated battery.
This happened to me today got no trackpad or keyboard just ordered new cable
Hi You are the Best i just receive the piece and fixed my wife computer it omg is been 1 year using keyboard and mouse through bluetooth and now we both so happy. Apple wanted $400 to check it out and thanks to you her computer is working like new. it works perfectly Thank you so much
That’s great, Erick, so glad you got it fix. Great job, and thanks for watching!
Awesome video mate, just brought my MacBook keyboard and trackpad back to life, this saved me hundreds of pounds in the UK, Cheers Buddy
Fantastic, glad I could help. Thanks for watching!
This man just saved me ~2K (was gonna buy a new MacBook).
Glad to help and glad you saved some money!
Worked for me as well. My mac didn't turn on immediately had to give it an uncomfortable amount of time before it eventually turned on.
Great! Glad it helped and thanks for the tip on giving it time to boot!
What is the of cable ?? Where i buy this one
The links are in the video description...
Touchpad Ribbon Cable: amzn.to/2jIvuP6
Screw Drivers: amzn.to/2EkphQV
Thanks this was very helpful. Replaced cable, cost £6 from Amazon.
Thankyou! Works perfectly.
Note: I didn’t pull apart the battery connector in case I ripped something apart I wasn’t supposed to. Still worked!
Thanks
Awesome! Thanks for watching and sharing!
Dude! Saved me a bunch of cash! I literally just gave it the old n64 treatment (blew the dust off the connector and plugged back in)
Keyboard and trackpad are back!!
You are literally the best, real life saver, yeah, I just need open that little cap and reconnect, keyboard and touchpad are back to normal, take me just one minute to solve all this, thank you so much
Thanks so much, I have just fixed my Mac Pro using your instructions. You are the MAN !!!
You’re welcome! Glad it helped you out.
Thanks for the info!! I didn't even have to buy a cable. I just disconnected and reseated the connectors and everything was back to normal. Don't know if that will last, but I figure it's worth a try before buying another cable.
Fantastic, glad it helped you out! Thanks for watching.
Fabulous! You are a hero! Just fixed my sons Mac. i was looking for this connector and couldnt find it. I didnt change the ribbon cable, just wiggled it back an forth and replugged the other end a couple of times. I guess the contacts get bad and just need a bit of cleaning by moving them.
big big thank you to you! I have been thinking about getting a new MacBook Air and your video saved my mbp. I was not sure I can fix it especially I didn’t think i slipped the bottom section right. But it worked! Omg, thank you sooo much. I will show my experience to my friends and also add your clip link. Can’t thank you more!
Glad it helped you out! Thanks for watching!
Legend! Saved me a ton. The new cable is a bit of a pain not being pre shaped but it works! 😁👍🏻
3:40 video starts
Went to Apple the guy told me it would be 700 bucks to fix, watched this video went to amazon and fixed it myself for $18. Thanks!
I have heard that exact same quote from multiple people. Total ripoff. I’m glad I could help! Thanks for watching!
This is really awesome. I successfully replace the ribbon cable as you guided in the video. But the problems came again after 2 years....really appreciate if you can provide a permanent solution.
There is no permanent solution. I’ve done mine twice now. It’s just a poor design.
@@IAmAFixer got it....thanks for your response. Let me do the same
You are the man 👨 🙌 my dude 💯% you save me from buying another laptop from apple 🍎 i truly mean that from the heart ❤ excellent video 📹 step by step-by-step a true guide on how to get my keyboard back and operational because i was on vacation and this computer 🖥 stop working on me and i was freaking out big time. I cam cross your video 📹 and im so happy i did because from your video i brought tools 🔧 and cable to replace 😅 old one and it totally worked......you are the 👨 man thank you again and keep making those awesome video's 📹 take care !!!
Thanks, Samir. These comments keep me going. I’m glad it helped you out. Thanks for watching!
Hey fixer dude, So glad i found your channel!
The link says the screwdrivers are out of stock at the moment, are you getting some more soon?
Thanks in advance
Those are mine screwdrivers. Just try looking for 2015 MacBook Pro pentalobe screwdriver
everything is ordered, I hope I'll do it well. Thank you nonetheless for teaching us
Good luck!
Thank you alot, i hold shift and the keyboad and trackpad start working, thank you, hope you success❤
You are the man! Thank you for posting this! 20 bucks on Amazon including the screwdrivers and my Mac works now.
Awesome. Glad it helped you. Thanks for watching!
Mine just stopped working last week! I made almost anything.. I took it to Apple Repair, they didn't even acknowledge that issue 😓. I'm gonna buy the flat cable and fix it myself!
No, they would rather sell you a new computer than fix yours at a reasonable rate. It’s a pretty simple repair, I’m sure you’ll have no problems! Let me know how it goes, and please consider subscribing to the channel if you like these types of videos. Thanks for watching!
@@IAmAFixer Quick update: Replaced my cable and the keyboard/trackpad work like a charm again! :)
@@heyitspris That's great! I'm glad I could help, thanks again for watching!
thank you i do it like you, and I find that the battery is bigger than normal, so it is the cause of damage the cable of keyboard and trackpad, so i change the cable, and i put the piece of plastic in front of the new cable to protect it from battery
If the battery is larger than normal, it is probably swelling and needs to be replaced. If you don’t replace it, you risk fire and damage to other components.
@@IAmAFixer thank u so much if u know a trade or a seller of good quality battery u can recommend for me because I am lost in brands and thank you again
Thank you so much for posting this information!! It saved me a lot of money.
You’re welcome. Glad it helped!
Thank you brother you save me! I never thought it would be working again.
That’s great, I’m glad I could help!!
Thanks for this video! I followed your instructions exactly and now My keyboard and trackpad works!. Saved a lot!
That’s great, Tosin. Glad it helped. Thanks for watching!
Muchas gracias. Me valió para arreglar el MacBook Pro 13 2015 de mi cuñado. Muchas gracias!!!
Hey great video! I think I broke that black plastic tab that you flip up. I’m not sure what to do I have it in my hand ...
It worked perfectly, saved a couple hundred bucks with a 5 bucks scre driver set and 3 bucks cable. Hahaha thanks alot! Cheers
You got it, thanks for watching!
Great video! Thanks! Is there a way to fix my arrow down key that does not respond anymore?
It worked for me as well! thank you so much! The cable was only $10 on Amazon!
You’re welcome, glad I could help! Thanks for watching!
What is the of cable ?? Where i buy this one
What's the mechanism behind this?? How can it repaired so simply just by replacing the thing?
Bad cable. New cable = works
Your website must have changed, it's very difficult to navigate now, and a search for Macbook air turned up no results. Trying to learn how to clean or replace my wife's MacBook Air 13-inch 2011 model, got a link for me, please?
I don’t have a video on that. I think you may be looking for ifix.com
Amazing tutorial, thanks for this useful and considerate video.
Thanks, Mahai. I’m glad it helped you!
This actually works!!! I did it today because my laptop kirked out a week into the new semester and this saved me like $600 that i would have spent at apple lol
AND its not hard!! a dingus could do it
That’s great! Glad you got it squared away!
Thank you, thank you, thank you... You just saved a brother's reputation or rather my garage business NyQuest Adventures. I'm a windows type of dude and I'll dabble in Apple every now and then. Simple things like screen repairs and like this one, a keyboard replacement. But after I replaced the whole top case including the keyboard, trackpad, and battery. Simple right!?!? Not... I put everything back together and no matter how many times I reconnect the keyboard connection ( the one to the right of the ribbon you suggested), I could turn it on and off and I could see the mouse on the screen but no action. It was frustrating thinking it was the keyboard connection and all the time it was the trackpad ribbon. Yo! a million thanks for posting the video. NyQuest Adventures Computer repair owes you one... real talk!!! Thxz ;~}
That’s awesome! Some glad it helped you out. Crazy design on this model. I’m sure you were the hero, and I’m glad to help!
You are a Legend! Sorted out my macbook pro thanks to this video, nice one pal
Thanks! I’m glad it helped you. Thanks for watching!
Hi I have tried this process and it worked for a day, i think its the actual track pad that's gone have you got a tutorial on how to open it up and replace that actual track pad it would be greatly appreciated
If it worked for a day, then I would suspect you maybe have a loose connection on that cable. Open it up and reseat the cable on both ends. If you still have issues, then I would explore replacing the touchpad. Thanks for watching!
YOU ARE A LEGEND MATE. xxx
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!
Perfect video. It works great. Easy fix. THANK YOU.
You’re welcome, glad it helped!
Does your MacBook upgrades to MacOS 12 Monterey? I upgraded my HDD as well, and Monterey does not “like” it
No, it doesn’t like that hard drive. I can’t remember what I did. I think maybe I put the original oem hard drive in and installed Monterey on it which updates the firmware. Then put the new hard drive back in and it upgraded fine after that.
Thanks a million from Korea in 2023 Dec
Unfortunately I didn't have the same luck. I did this process and nothing has change.
Obs.: In my first time, I did without disconnect the battery plug. In yours experience what does it implies on the result?
And about this, what can I do to resolve?
Hi there! Thank you for this as I tried all the other short cuts for repairing this problem with the keyboard & trackpad. I just installed a new trackpad cable but the problem isn’t solved. Do you have any idea what else by be the issue with this? I don’t really want to have to buy an external keyboard. Many thanks 🙏🏻💫
Thank you for your very educational video. Do you know how I can find the two screws that hold the Trackpad bracket down?
My MacBook Pro 2015 has recently stopped powering up, I took off the back and noticed that exact ribbon cable was damaged. Could you possibly tell me if a damaged cable would cause power problems, or could it be that if the cable was damaged then the power button on the keyboard would in fact not function ?. Edit just noticed that cable is fine, it is the tiny cable next to the cable in this video that is knackered, any ideas ?
My thought would be that if there is a cable messed up, and the MacBook won’t power on, then that is probably the culprit. I’m sure that cable has a name, but I’m not sure what it is.
I Am A Fixer thanks for the quick reply, this is really frustrating as only a month ago I upgraded it to a 1tb Nvme drive, so am hoping that the repair isn’t going to cost too much for a machine that is almost 5yrs old. I cannot seem to find any information on this cable, which is annoying.
hey . my keyboard and trackpad get to work sometimes . is the solution same or is there any other solution ?
This was 100 percent my issue and this fixed it thank you so much
Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching!
I replaced a battery yesterday and also a new trackpad cable. The cable is fully seated, I did an SMC and PRAM reset method and still no trackpad or keyboard. The key oard does work to do the SMC reset using control, alt and left shift or whatever the sequence is but once booted neither work still....they worked perfect before battery replacement and I've done MANY of these on 2013-2015 machines. Thoughts? Could the trackpad have got damaged? I doubt it as I'm careful but you never know and if so, would that cause keyboard to also not work once booted up? A1502 13" retina early 2015 i7 3.1Ghz. thank you.
Hi! In my case, just a few keys stopped working (J, K, L). The first time, I reset the PRAm and SMC and it worked, the second time they stopped working I pressed the 3 Keys at the same time and they came back to life. This 3rd time I had no luck :( Do you think changing that ribbon could help?? Thank you!!!
Hey buddy, I'm having the same problem. I opened up my Mac book pro and mine does not have that strip on the battery. Do you have any ideas to help?
You have an older MacBook. Probably a different issue. There is a similar cable except it is buried beneath the glued in battery. Much more difficult to get to.
Hi. I have the same. I don't see the ribbon on top. Were you able to find a solution to it? Thanks.
Hi thanks for the great video. Unfortunately I managed to snap off the little tab that clamps down on the Zif connector (super flimsy). What do you suggest as a fix to help the ribbon cable bed down onto the connectors?!!!
I was about to buy a new MacBook. Glad I watched this first!!! Thanks so much for the links to exactly what was needed and for the easy to follow video. My keys & trackpad are working fine now :)
That’s great, Mary, glad I could help! Thanks for watching!
Hi, thanks for your video. I also have this issue.But mine is more complicated: the narrow board the cable connected to has burnt. Do you know what that long, narrow board is called? I think I need one that board as well.
Will this work for Macbook Pro 2017 13 inch
I’m not sure. Check with iFixit .com and see if they have any info on your version
I have mb pro 2015. After restarting the p
Mc thw shift key is stuck and always typing uppercase only howto solve this
Will this work for a mid-2014 model ? Thanks
Completely different design and internals.

Hello Sir/Dr. I have a macbook pro 15.4 late 2009 and my keyboard cable is loosed the material to join to motherboard ( I mean the metal ways that like a comb going to the motherboard got damage). so, my computer doesn't on. Do you know if I can repair the comb way of the head of data cable to the connector using some soldier materials or there is no way and I have change the whole keyboard? I've subscribed your video and liked it. I'm waiting to hear your idea. Thanks.
How long does the repair last? I want a new MBP anyway, but I won’t be able to afford one for a couple of months.
Update: It worked and my MBP is running smoothly!
I’m going on close to a year now without issues. The first time I did the repair, it lasted about 2 years.
I Am A Fixer Awesome, thanks! The part comes in today, so I'll let you know if it works!
Initially both my keyboard and trackpad didn't work after replacing the flex cable only the keyboard started working. The track pad is still not responsive. What do you recommend I do?
I would swap the cable again. It’s such a cheap part. I’ve seen them be defective from the start. Otherwise it’s likely a touchpad that will have to be replaced.
Do the same ribbon cables work for 15" inch MacBooks as well or only 13"
But the cable doesn't fit? Thanks for the video, but I'm gonna look for one that fits my device.
