Solved After Cleaning The Keyboard With Foam Two Keys Don T Work Macbook

Chosen Solution

the Shift key and the R key generates only a R (Uppercase) May I open the computer and review the keyboard? May I dismount the Keys individually? I have applied air duster to remove any dust or any thing under the keys…. but nothing happens. I am desperate Alejandra from Chile

I don’t know your skill level but I am including a URL for a keyboard rebuild similar to yours. After looking at it if you feel confident go for it. I would just do the two keys you are having trouble with so you would still have a working computer if you should have problems. And as a temp solution you could use a external USB keyboard. Good luck. Ralph http://geektechnique.org/index.php?id=16…

thank you Ralph. In fact I am already using an external USB keyboard. About the URL…. well I am not that confident…. though the keyboard there is not the same that the one MacBook has. The final solution is replace the keyboard. One conclusion and advice: never trust on the FOAM CLEANER (specially conceived for keyboards!!!). It is not good for the Mac portables. Alejandra

I don’t have an answer to this question, but my son’s 13" MacBook (passed down to him from me) has the same issue with the Left Shift and R keys producing upper case R’s. Also, the left shift key initiates the dashboard. Has anyone else out there experienced this issue, and is there a working solution? I really don’t want to start pulling ut keys from the keyboard.
