Although it may seem silly, one of the dirtiest things a computer is itskeyboard. If you only use the Mac really is fairly clean, although if you have to share it with several people will be a real mess.

When you see the keyboard of your MacBook Pro starts to illuminate at least, do not worry nothing happens, is that it is full of garbage inside. The keyboards and quantity of waste accumulated dust inside and over time it worsens its performance.

If this is your case or you just want to clean the keyboard of your Mac, here’s a tutorial to disassemble and to clean the new Apple keyboards.

Hands On

First of all, becareful. While a keyboard is pretty tough some people are not aware that parts are delicate and one wrong move or gesture can break any of the components of your keyboard.

The new Apple keyboard are divided into three parts:

  • The key itself.
  • The plastic joint that gives the movement.
  • The rubber membrane to make contact.

In this tutorial we will focus only on the keys and remove them without touching as any moment the other components of the keyboard.

For this we need any small flat tool is that you’re considering a screwdriver but leave it as a last resort, a metal tool can only wreak havoc on such a delicate operation. In my case I used a small wooden stick quite malleable, if extreme force is part of the club and not part of the keyboard, although the ideal is a piece of plastic.

The keys are attached to the keyboard through intermediate part shaped joint, we want to release the key of that room and not both the keyboard (not to complicate the task).

To perform this task as simple as introducing our tool is flat across the front of the keys, the area that you see them, and make an opposing force to the central key for the piece. Needless to deepen with the wooden stick, you just have to enter the zone slightly ahead of the key.

If the operation has completed successfully, the key is let go from the front of thejoint, still being anchored to two points in the back of it.

This last operation can be performed directly on the fingers exerting force on the key out of the keyboard, let down in a moment.

If you intend to drop the entire keyboard to make a picture reminiscent of that to mount properly and then forget where it goes without any keys.

Reassemble the keyboard is much easier, we only have to position the key in its final position on the keyboard and press with some force if it is not fitted to the first pressed repeatedly until you respond normally.
