Having problems with your MacBook, MacBook Air, or MacBook Pro keyboard and want to check if your notebook is eligible for a free repair or replacement? Read on for a look at the models that are included in the service program.
Apple’s butterfly keyboards that date back to 2015 have seen serious problems with debris being caught under keys. This results in keys not working or in some cases the computer registering a double press. The 2018 MacBook Pro and MacBook Air feature the third-generation butterfly keyboard which includes a new gasket, but that hasn’t solved the issue for many users, as Apple has included those in the service program as well.
The actual cost will be determined by the faulty component. A MacBook screen replacement will cost $400-$1200. Mac logic board repair will cost $300-$600. MacBook keyboard replacement will cost $180-$300. MacBook touchpad replacement will cost $80-$180. MacBook battery replacement will cost $120-$250. MacBook Wifi card replacement will cost $50.
