So someone told me its likely not water damage fucking up my M/J keys. which is good.

But now I'm worried if I bring it in, they'll crucify me for replacing one of the scissor key mechanisms.

When i was first trying to figure out what was wrong with my M key, i opened it up, found a lot of dust and cleaned it out, but the scissor clip has a part that was bent so I got a replacement off of amazon, and it's near exactly the same but like the Product numbers are written on it different.

just to be clear, the scissor mechanism isn't the problem, as far as i can tell. the keys were fucking up before i replaced it, and actually seemed to get better right after i did it.

Genuinely worried now I fucked up and wasted money on quick diy repairs that would void apples warranty or whatever

What are the odds I'm screwed here?

How fucked does this key look to you? Does it look like water damage, or at least enough like water damage that the macstore technician would say so?

MY COMPUTER KEYS ARE ACTING UP AGAIN BUT IN SPECIFIC SUDDEN BURSTS AND I DONT KNOW WHAT'S CAUSING IT OR SETTING IT OFF AND IT'S DRIVING ME CRAZY

Guys, a few keys on my macbook pro have been getting worse and worse and I'm worried its gonna require a big intrusive repair. Do you guys know how much that would run me just so I can make the mental arithmatic on this situation? I believe i still have apple care on this thing

if anybody's had similar issues with a 2020 or later macbook pro, let me know how much of an ordeal it was to fix

Sometimes they're normal, then snap immediately to being totally unresponsive, or semi unresponsive and repeating repeatedly when held down.

It's gotta be something wrong with like the rubber caps right? It keeps working normal and not normal and oscillating between them and can be normal for a decently long amount of time.

Im PRAYING its ust some small mechanical fail like that because its, hopefully, an easier, not huge invasive repair and thus not a big charge, AND not a big "I messed up and didnt take as much care of my expensive computer as i should have" thing to blow up and get mom annoyed with me.

But then, it's two keys messing up in conjunction with each other. Like, it always feels like when one is messing up, so is the other. Which means mmaybe there's a bad circuit or something, which is BAD.

God is there ANYBODY familiar with apple hardware problems who can give me some info?
