Terry Everall Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Some of my keys on my 4 year old MacBook Pro are sticking and driving me mad. Any easy way to clean them and free them off. I have seen a couple of how to clean videos but they look scary! What would it cost to get someone to do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinten Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Have you seen https://www.ifixit.com/Device/Mac_Laptop ? Not sure how cheap/expensive it would be for anyone to do it, but the link should give you an insight in how involved it will be... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I've used WD40 for cleaning keyboards, including both my MBP and my plug in Mac keyboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris parkin Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Worth a google first to makes sure it would be alright and assuming its just dirt that is making the keys sticky rather than a misalignment etc. but wouldn't a general degreaser be alright? I'd imagine it would just flash off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
