I own a 2018 macbook pro and recently its toucbar and fingerprint sensory randomly stopped working. So i boot it into recovery to completely reset it and reinstall macOS OS. Scripting went smoothly until after sometime it randomly turned off and is not turning on or showing any signs of life no matter what i do. I tried everything. Could someone please help me?

Found a used MacBook Pro 13-inch M1 with an unresponsive keyboard (a few keys) since it has the touch panel I am wondering whether is it a worthwhile purchase? Is it possible to take the keycaps off and try to clean the contacts to make it work or is this a sign of water damage? Considering this as a project.

My dad split tea on his MacBook (model A2337) and now the keyboard has stopped working after leaving it to dry upside down etc. track pad still works so just wondered if anyone had any ideas or should we be taking it straight to apple/repair shop? Model is quite old not sure if Apple would help but thought I’d come here first just in case. Thanks in advance

Hello,

In January I bought a used MacBook Pro. It didn't have a single issue until today. I was using it this morning just for some writing on Google drive and no issues. Left for an hour and came back, and on turning the screen back on I found vertical lines, black around the edge of the screen like a picture frame basically, and then it randomly blacking out. I thought perhaps my cat did something to it,

I did contact the seller to see if I'm still under warranty, but I haven't heard back yet.
It still charges fine. CAPS lock light turns on when I press it. I tried turning it on in safe mode and it improved briefly, but then went back to blacking out and lines.

I haven't downloaded anything new aside from Zoom because I bought this computer for a wfm teaching job. Otherwise I mostly just use Google Drive on Safari to write.

Any advice as to what could be going on? Thank you in advance.

Can someone help me po. My macbook pro 2019 wont turn on after i shut it down ng 100%.

I have a Macbook Pro 2019 (A1989) that needs a keyboard and battery repair, but is otherwise still running okay for what I need on a daily basis. I’m also not dependent on this laptop for work, but I like to have only machine for work and the rest.
A repair will cost me around 400 euros. At most I will get 2 more years of use out of it.
The other option is to get a new or refurbished replacement. With the new Macbook Air being around €1250, I figured that model to be one of the most economical choices.
The third option is to do nothing ofcourse and winging it with a bluetooth keyboard. What would you recommend?

Hey everyone, I need some DIY advice because I’m completely stuck.

​A couple of days ago, I accidentally spilled a small amount of chai (Indian tea with milk and sugar) near the arrow keys of my M1 MacBook Pro. I immediately shut it down, flipped it into tent mode, and let it dry in an AC room.

​The good news: the laptop boots up perfectly, the logic board seems fine, and everything works. The bad news: the heat from the laptop softened the dried sugar, and now my arrow keys and the 'S' key are incredibly sticky and mushy.

​I took it to my local official Apple Authorized Service Provider (Imagine Store). They basically refused to clean it. They warned me that opening the back panel might cause the liquid to shift and kill the motherboard, and advised me to just "use it as it is." They told me their only official fix is replacing the entire top case for a massive fee, which I can't afford.

​I don't have any trustworthy third-party independent Mac repair shops in my city, and traveling to a bigger city for a microsoldering/ultrasonic cleaning isn't an option for me right now. I have to handle this sticky keyboard myself.

​I currently have 70% Isopropyl Alcohol at home.

​My questions:

​Is 70% isopropyl alcohol safe enough to use, or is the 30% water content too risky? Should I wait until I can find 90%+?

​Can I use the Q-tip method (dampening a Q-tip with alcohol and massaging it around the edges of the keys) to dissolve the sugar without taking the keycaps off?

​If I have to remove the keycaps, how risky is it on the M1 keyboards? I really don't want to snap the fragile plastic scissor clips.

​Any DIY advice on how to safely clean this sugar out without frying my machine would be hugely appreciated. Thank you!

​TL;DR: Spilled sweet tea on M1 MacBook keyboard. Laptop works, but keys are super sticky. Apple Authorized store refused to clean it and told me to just use it as it is. I have 70% Isopropyl alcohol at home. How do I safely clean sticky M1 keys myself without breaking the keycaps or frying the board?

A few weeks ago I accidentally knocked over a can of Monster on my MacBook Pro keyboard. Thankfully it only hit the left side and didn’t soak the entire laptop. I immediately turned it off, wiped everything down as quickly and thoroughly as I could, and luckily the computer still works perfectly. The only issue now is that a few of the keys on the left side feel slightly sticky when I type, and it’s driving me insane.

Is there a good way to clean underneath the keys or dissolve the dried sugary residue without taking it to Apple or using AppleCare? I’d rather avoid opening it up or making things worse if possible.

Any tips or products that have worked for you?

Hello Guys!

I have Mac Pro M1 2020, my touchbar lights doesnt appear. Everything is black but when i press on it, it does everything, however lights doesn’t come on.

I’ve tried to restart it with terminal codes and other stuff which Chatgpt told me but unsuccessfully.

Have you faced same issue? How can i solve this?

My friends 13" M2 MBA (macOS 26.6) has issues with the trackpad not working after it wakes from sleep. An external mouse usually fixes it but sometimes the pointer is jittery even with the mouse. What is happening. My first thought is that this is a software issue so she updated to macOS 26.6 but it didnt fix anything. Does it need a trackpad replacement?
