MBP Keyboard backlight screwed..!


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

as some of you know that i spilled redbull on the lower part of the keyboard (cmd, option, control, spacebar keys) and i fixed it by ripping them off, cleaning them and putting them back in.

Now i usually dont use the backlight feature alot but today i turned it on first time after the spill issue and its all messed up.. here is a picture attached.. Please help.. how can i fix this if there is a way to do it.

Regards

Perhaps you forgot you spilled Redbull all over your keyboard.

Right!! He already mentioned that, But he's asking how can he fix it and your post helps exactly, how?

Yusuf, I suggest you take it to the nearest apple store or any place in your are who handle apple repairs. Since it was your fault of spilling liquid on the keys, I don't see you getting any free fixes... you'll have to pay for whatever you have done... :)

@painkilleryusuf:

I'm not sure. Maybe the leds are burned out. Maybe they are covered with dirt, which managed to stick to the leds because of rests of the drink. Also I would be sending the photos to a friend of mine who repaired my father's CD Diskman (it had a similar problem... though water instead of spilled drink... BTW the diskman said "water resistant"... lie).

And how does your post help? Telling to go do something he probably thought up himself? Consider criticizing yourself before you dare to criticize me.

And there would be no solution except for having Apple fix it for you.

Better iGo? I think so.

Alright guys, that was a great help. As much of a kinda-geeky i am, i love my MBP so much so i cant open it. I will give it to a apple-authorized center here. A really close friend works there ( i got to know yesterday) and he told me he will only chrge me for the top case and no service charge.

But thanks again.

Looks like we're done here (including the handbag slapping), locked. If you want it unlocked for more help or information, PM a Mod - mps69
