How easy is a keyboard replacement?

I can’t see a guide on here for replacing the keyboard - not the whole top assembly with trackpad etc, but just the keyboard itself. How easy of a job is this? Replacement keyboards are only around £15 whereas a top case assembly is around £120, so of course I’d much rather buy the former, but I assume replacing just the keyboard is going to be a harder job than replacing the whole top case. Apologies if this has already been asked somewhere, haven’t been able to find anything though.

Not sure exactly what caused it, but my E key stopped working properly for a while, then the D started playing up, and now A and S do not work at all, so I’m having to use an external keyboard.

This is bit of a toss up!

Here’s a cheaper uppercase 15” Retina MacBook Pro, Top Case & UK Keyboard (12/E13), Apple P/N B661-6532 £62.52 which a lot cheaper than £120 you priced it at. The part I’ve listed is a recycled part not new.

Replacing the keyboard alone is a big job! And if you’re not careful you can damage the uppercase.

So while you save a bit of money replacing the keyboard alone it ends up costing you time, cuts and scrapes on your fingers and the risk of not having a working system in the end.

So consider your skills and the time as well as the value of the system to you.

Thanks for this! That is a much cheaper price, I see it’s sans-trackpad though - is this easy enough to navigate whilst preserving my original trackpad? I’ll be getting a friend to do the job and he does this kind of thing for a living, I just don’t want too hard a job for him. Like I say though, he’s done plenty of this kind of thing before. If I could give him an estimate of how long it would take him it would be sweet.

really appreciate the answer, in quick fashion too :)

@supa42 - you'll need move it over from the old case to the new case follow this guide to take the battery out to then get to the trackpad 2012年中期视网膜屏Macbook Pro 15''电池替换教程.

Often I find this series needs a new battery as well. I would recommend installing this app CoconutBattery take a snapshot of the apps main window and post it here for us to see 在已经存在的问题里加入图片

Thanks. So how long do you think the process would take all-in-all?

The battery indeed does need replacing, has done for quite a long time, but I'm on a tight budget at the moment (https://i.imgur.com/OgCAqa7.png)

@supa42 - I don't think you have much of a choice here ;-{ You really need both. Getting the old battery out is a bit of a chore. Maybe it would be better (and cheaper) to just get the full uppercase with battery & trackpad already installed, the part (FRU) Apple would have used if you had that as an option.

Ah that's a shame. After having a quick look I see that's around £300. Considering how old the machine is already, it doesn't seem worth it. To be honest I'll probably just continue using an external keyboard.

Many thanks for your help anyway!
