This is a 4 hour time-lapse of a 2010 McBook keyboard replacement. It was my second entry into this machine after a component level (PP3V42_G3H_ONEWIRE) repair after discovering further liquid damage to the keyboard causing a S_2 state boot-loop. The backplate is glued to the deck and the keyboard is heat-staked to the deck, both of which require very careful temperature controlled application of heat to avoid distortion to the deck. The factory adhesive and heat stakes then need to be removed and replaced with 3M bonding tape before reassembly. THIS IS NOT AN INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO! It is a warning that this job is a total pain in the arse! :) ...And yes I know I was trying to put the display on upside down... Brane fade! :)
