To fix a pushed key on a MacBook, I have found that using compressed air can be quite effective. Here’s how I do it:
1. Completely turn off your MacBook: To start, click on the Apple symbol in the top left corner of the screen, and then select “Shut Down” from the dropdown menu. Make sure your MacBook is fully powered off before proceeding.
2. Position your MacBook vertically: Find a flat surface and position your MacBook so that it stands upright. This will allow any debris or dust that may be causing the key to stick to fall out more easily.
3. Spray the keys with compressed air: Grab a can of compressed air and hold it upright. Begin spraying short bursts of air onto the affected key. Make sure to aim the nozzle at an angle, allowing the air to flow underneath the key. This can help dislodge any debris that may be causing the key to stick.
4. Rotate the MacBook to the right and repeat step 3: Once you have sprayed air on the keys facing you, rotate the MacBook to the right. This will expose a different set of keys. Repeat step 3 by spraying air on these keys as well.
5. Rotate the MacBook to the left and repeat step 3: After spraying air on the keys facing you and to the right, rotate the MacBook to the left. Again, repeat step 3 by spraying air on these keys.
6. Test your keys: Once you have finished spraying air on all the keys, it’s time to test them. Power on your MacBook and try pressing the previously pushed key. Hopefully, it should now function properly without sticking or getting stuck.
Using compressed air to fix a pushed key on a MacBook has worked well for me in the past. However, if the issue persists or if the key seems physically damaged, it may be necessary to seek professional assistance or consider replacing the key or keyboard.
Remember to handle the compressed air can with care, following the instructions on the packaging, and avoid spraying it too close to the MacBook to prevent any potential damage.
I hope this helps you fix your pushed key issue on your MacBook!
