Shift Macbook Pro

broken image


The other night I was catching up with my TV shows when I obsessed over cleaning my macbook pro's keyboard. I took out each tile and accidentally poked the sensor of the right shift key, which caused it to appear stuck.

Shift (MacBook Skin) Regular price $22.00 Sale price $22.00 Sale. Mac book pro 2020. The quality is good but the portion inside is not really fit. It is a good idea, provided the fact that mac books have great performance all rounder. A regular windows laptop does not. Well from good, if you are a coder, its the best idea to move to a Mac book from a Windows laptop.

Since I can't use the laptop properly (it goes to safe mode, can't type password), I googled for possible answers with this problem and none of them helped. Opening the laptop again goes straight to safe mode since the shift key is stuck. During this frustrating experience, I learned that pressing the space bar after turning the laptop on would skip the safe mode and head straight to the login. But it's useless since I couldn't enter the password correctly.

Two days later I bought an external keyboard and when I got home, I remembered that my laptop goes straight to my desktop when I turn it on. With further research, I learned that pressing ‘C' after turning it on solved that problem. I didn't have to enter the password. When it recognized the external keyboard, I was able to use the macbook properly but since I didn't want to get stuck using it, I searched for a way to disable the shift key.

I remembered a subject in college called 'Computer Assembly' or something, it was a tough subject and I did not learn/understand anything but I do remember the professor trying to teach us how entering a very long code turns the caps lock on/off.

Here's what I did:

  1. I downloaded KeyRemap4MacBook and installed it. Enter your password using the external keyboard. The laptop would restart.
  2. Open System Preferences > Keyremap4MacBook, scroll down and look for the key that needs disabling. In my case it was Disable Shift_R.
  3. Click ReloadXML and you're good to go.

It's so easy! Be careful with what you're going to edit or disable though, you don't want to make it worse.

Megapixel macbook air. I could have avoided this if I only thought of searching YouTube first for tutorials in cleaning my keyboard. But then again, I'm up for learning from my mistakes and learning the hard way so this was a good experience after all, even though I know I'd have to get this repaired some day.
