Key Replacement for Macbook Pro Touchbar Models

June 15th, 2018

If you’ve broken or lost a keycap on your Macbook Pro Touchbar or 12″ Retina Macbook, our individual keycap replacements will spare you the cost and hassle of having to replace the entire top case.

The key replacements are available at this link: Macbook Pro Touchbar Key Replacement

The key replacements are compatible with the following models: A1534 / A1706 / A1707 / A1708.

There are currently two revisions of these keycaps. The easiest way to tell the difference between the keys is to compare slight differences between the text on certain keys. The Revision ‘A’ return key also says ‘enter’, the option keys also say ‘alt’ along the top, and the control key does not include an up arrow / carrot along the top.

Macbook Pro Touchbar Data Recovery Service

June 14th, 2018

With the introduction of the Macbook Pro Touchbar units (model numbers A1706 and A1707), Apple decided to get rid of upgradable SSD blades choosing instead to go with onboard storage. As a result of this, whatever storage size your Macbook Pro Touchbar unit came with is what you are stuck with unless you replace the board or (what Apple prefers) you buy a new Macbook Pro.

A major downside of building the storage onto to the main board is that if anything goes wrong with your logic board you will be unable to access your data.

Our Macbook Logic Board repair service is one option to recovering your data. With this service, our component level techs can try to get your board up and running by replacing the faulty components on the board.

In the event a board is unrepairable however, we have other options to save the data from your Macbook Pro Touchbar. With these new options we can either install a replacement board in your system and then transfer the data from the old board to the new board ( a $99 transfer fee applies) or we can simply take the data off your old board and put it on external media for you to get the files you need. (This service is $150 + external media cost. You can provide your own external media for this service.)
