This is usually caused by minor liquid damage. The keyboard is essentially one large circuit board, and even a small amount of moisture can disrupt part of that circuit.

Think of it like a map. Each key has a specific place, and if one area is affected, the signal may misfire, repeat, or not register at all. The correct repair is to replace the entire keyboard. This restores full function across the board and prevents the problem from spreading further.

We do not offer single key replacements. That type of repair is what we call a patch fix. There is always a reason why that key has failed, and it is usually linked to internal damage to the keyboard circuitry.

Replacing the whole keyboard guarantees the issue is fully resolved. It also prevents repeat problems, which is why we back every repair with a two-year warranty.

MacBook keyboard repairs at iCorrect start from £159, depending on the model. Once we inspect the device and confirm the fault, we will provide you with a clear quote.

Every repair includes the new keyboard, full testing, labour, and a two-year warranty.

Yes. We replace just the keyboard, not the full top case. Apple’s approach is to replace the entire assembly, which includes your trackpad and battery.

Our repair is more sustainable and more cost-effective. It uses fewer parts and still restores the keyboard to original factory quality. You will get the same feel, performance, and finish without paying for a battery or trackpad you did not need.

Yes, but we always recommend starting with a diagnostic. Sticky or crunchy keys usually indicate that liquid has entered the keyboard or settled beneath the backlight.

If we find residue or corrosion, we will upgrade the repair to a diagnostic to check the rest of the system. These issues often worsen over time. Catching the fault early gives you the best outcome.

Yes, we deal with this regularly. When liquid enters through the keyboard, it can stop keys from working and sometimes damage components beneath it.

On newer models, liquid that enters around the arrow keys can seep into the logic board. This often damages the audio circuit and causes long-term issues if left untreated. We recommend booking a full diagnostic so we can confirm the damage and repair the machine safely.

Most MacBook keyboard repairs are completed within two to three working days. That includes testing, keyboard replacement, post-repair checks, and full sign off.

If you need the device returned faster, we offer an express service that can complete the repair within one working day when booked in advance.

Yes. We use original Apple parts or parts matched to the original keyboard layout and travel. This makes sure the pressure, click, and feedback all feel exactly like they should.

This matters especially for people who type quickly, use shortcuts, or rely on the keyboard every day. We test every keyboard before it goes out. If it does not feel right to us, it does not leave.

Yes. We have repaired hundreds of butterfly keyboards across the 2016 to 2019 MacBook models.

We always recommend checking with Apple first. They offer a free repair programme for eligible devices, but the process can take up to ten working days. If you need the keyboard fixed quickly, we can complete the repair within one to three working days.

Yes. The keyboard, trackpad, and power button are often connected through the same internal circuit. If one is damaged, it can affect the others.

Liquid damage in particular can travel through that circuit and reach the logic board or battery. In these cases, we recommend running a diagnostic to check the full extent of the issue and confirm the repair needed.
