Just finished changing the keyboard on an 11in Macbook Air 2013. Went well!
It is SO nice to have the tab, caps lock, R, 4 and } keys working again!

I had to have a guide open on another computer (ifixit guide). Wanted to use my 2010 Macbook Pro but it wouldn't boot XD... keeps doing 3 long beeps while off. Had to use the little Chromebook instead. Seems like Dev & I are endlessly accumulating computer problems... @tendigits yea basically took every little bit out, which is pretty intimidating. The guide is very good tho :> @rek Salty air isn't kind to flimsy consumer tech. I've got a box of half broken hardware sitting here that I want to fix up (or strip for parts) that has succumbed to live aboard. Luckily we have long, cold winters 😬 Seems like the problem with the Macbook isn't with the ram itself, but the bottom ram slot :/. Good news is both modules still work, but I can now only use one (i can upgrade the working one for larger capacity). @rek i had the same problem on a non-Pro 2010 Macbook (unibody white) [or maybe it was on my 2012 MBP, not sure anymore], one of the two ram slots was faulty too. @ghostlevel seems like a common issue :/... sucks, but glad it can still be usable! Getting a module upgrade is rly an ok option.

@elliot i just did a few tests, trying each module in each slot and booting the machine each time. @rostiger Yaaa feels so nice ^^! Having to copy/paste r's got a bit tiresome. |
In the end the 'r' key kept popping out of its slot >_<... was driving me nuts.
