Chosen Solution

Early 2011 model A1286 Two DIFFERENT assessments for replacement of keyboard:

  1. ENTIRE shell/deck has to be replaced, containing keyboard.
  2. Keyboard ONLY can be replaced Anyone here DEFINITIVELY tell me …. one or the other ? Thanks !

You can replace just the keyboard on this model, don’t need to swap the whole palmrest. Part costs £10-£20. Link here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4k0yDeOR…
