I just purchased a new keyboard for this model of MacBook Pro but then immediately cancelled after reading further in this article, [guide|111478], where it states, "The top case assembly, which includes the keyboard, battery, and speakers, is firmly glued in place—making all those components hard to replace separately."
So my question is, should I attempt to replace my faulty keyboard or no? Some keys, in particular the space bar, are repeating keys where I have to backspace 90% of the time tanking my productivity. I don't want to spend $2200 for a new Mac and would prefer not to spend $500-$1000 to have Apple repair it. I've purchased a battery replacement and intend on replacing it this weekend. I've replaced an iPhone screen twice so I have some chops.
What do you suggest?
Thanks,[br]
