![]() ![]() With Apple's keyboard service program for MacBook and MacBook Pro, you can bring a unit with a defective keyboard to get repaired by Apple free of charge for four years after the first retail sale of your unit. Indeed, it was a bad idea to buy a MacBook laptop with a butterfly keyboard before Apple finally recognized the problem with its butterfly keyboard, at least if you weren't planning on buying AppleCare+ for the extended coverage. I couldn't recommend those laptops in good conscience. Thankfully, my laptop was still under warranty for the repair. Out of warranty and without AppleCare+, those repairs could cost hundreds of dollars, all for a single (or more) defective key. ![]() In that same repair, the company had to replace the top case, as well. For one of my own repairs on my 2016 15-inch MacBook Pro where the "G" key stopped working for a second time, Apple had to replace the entire logic board, which included the processor, RAM, graphics chip, storage, and the motherboard that all those components rest on. Repairs often involved replacing the entire top case of defective units, which includes the entire section where your keyboard lies, as well as the laptop's battery. After the one-year standard warranty - and if you didn't buy AppleCare+ - you could be left with a massive repair bill to fix a mundane issue with your butterfly keyboard. ![]()
