Comment on MacBooks, Chromebooks lead losers in laptop repairability analysis
ky56@aussie.zone 3 months agoWhere do I get the keyboard as a part from? I bought a keyboard from a seemingly branded seller on Aliexpress and the keyboard was really shit. The spacebar didn’t balance at the edges and all the key felt mushy.
I also bought a battery from iFixit and got two warranty replacements and not a single one lasted more than a few hours before bricking itself. As in the battery still measured a voltage and it could keep the ram contents in sleep but the controller/battery info no longer showed up in macOS.
I can do these repairs as difficult as they are but where do I actually get the parts from?

In that case, first place I’d look is on EBay to find ‘Books being sold for parts. You’re not going to have a lot of luck getting an OEM keyboard.
As far as where we got most of our parts from, we usually went to MobileSentrix or MobileDefenders. They stock parts for a lot of phones, even replacement displays for iPhones, Surfaces, and Switch. However, I don’t recall if they require some sort of business account.
