The unsolved Macbook Melted Key Mystery
- st3fan 17y agoDoes anyone know what is under that key? Component wise? Anyway, that dude should go see a Genius and get his Mac replaced.
- papyromancer 17y agoI wonder if the fact that the key is now detached would lead a cynical genius(tm) to believe that the key was melted after it was removed?
- mrspin 17y agoIt wasn't melted after it was removed lol It was removed because the key no longer registered a click. So it was taken off so that the button under the key could be used instead... 000 ))))) like that.
- papyromancer 17y agohehe ;) Definitely take that baby back and get the store to figure out wtf happened. If it's either the optical drive or the subwoofer, my minimal knowledge of heat generation in electronics leads me to believe that those shouldn't be generating that much heat except from friction in in the drive or a short in the subwoofer.
- carbon8 17y agoOptical drive and/or subwoofer.
- bcl 17y agoPossibly a chemical, not heat. When I was a kid I sprayed 'Off' (a mosquito repellent) on a calculator and the keys had a similar melted look to them.
- yangyang 17y ago"Rubberized keys"? I've got a couple-of-years old white plastic MacBook and the keys certainly aren't rubber. Have they changed to be like calculator keys now?
- kevinherron 17y agoNo.
