    Need Macbook repairs, certified (reputable) Apple dealers in Sheung Wan area

    I have a few keys on an older MacBook air that I need repaired. Damn things keep popping off. Anyone have any recommendations on a reputable repair shop in the area?

    If it's just the black part and the white 'frame' part that keeps coming off, Apple Store genius bar will do it for free. But if the the small metal catches are broken, or the white rubber nodule has come off, then you'll need to replace the top case.

    Yea, I'm pretty sure the whole keyboard will need to be replaced. The metal caches are busted. I stopped by a shop on Queen st (2nd floor) not far from my place and a really nice guy said he could do it for $600. I'm just worried because pulling the keyboard on an MBA is a pretty gnarly repair (a lot of adhesive). Gonna see what the Apple Store will quote me.

    Apple store should fix that for free as they did fix my old white macbook keyboard case for free when it started to break. I Do Not recommend taking your laptop to Wanchai 298 iwokshop as I got my Macbook Pro screen fixed there once and they broke my mac Camera. Even my ram kept failing after that, guess some parts were swapped. I am not so techie but after that repair my mac was never in same condition like before and finally had to sell it Wanchai repair guys are not professional and trained. they are just bunch of young collage kids doing mac repairs who keep changing jobs.
