- tomduncalf 9y agoAny ideas on how to get Apple’s attention on this issue welcome! Was wondering if there is any value on setting up a simple site where people can comment if they’ve had issues, just to help illustrate the scale of the problem...
- NetOpWibby 9y agoI'm sure if one of us creates a site and shares it here it'll gain traction. I like clever domain names, so I just registered mbp.wtf from Gandi. If you have recommendations on a lightweight commenting system, I'd love to hear it! I can crank out a site fairly quickly but I also want it to be as low-maintenance as possible.
- tomduncalf 9y agoHa I like the domain! Will have a little think and get back to you :)
- wilwade 9y agoI had the issue with the doubling with the b key as well. Mine was out of warranty, so I fixed it myself. Failed: compressed air Failed: cleaning under the key. Success (but not recommended) I removed the key, then pulled off the glued membrane. Cleaned all with 90% alcohol. Took a new membrane (but you might be able to use old) and used E6000 and a toothpick to glue it back. Replaced butterfly and key. Not a good solution, but it worked. It looked like the contacts were getting coated and not making good contact? Perhaps heat? Best of luck.
- NetOpWibby 9y agoI am not confident in my ability to do that but it's good to know there is a solution if I get desperate enough. My mechanical keyboard is saving my life right now.
