Lai Lai Pro - Apple Repair Specialists
Looking for MacBook keyboard repair in Johannesburg? Lai Lai Pro offers professional MacBook keyboard repair using genuine OEM parts with a 90-day warranty. Johannesburg customers have two options: drive down to our Vereeniging workshop (about 50 minutes from Joburg CBD via the N1) or use our Gauteng overnight courier service. Most Joburg customers have their device collected in the morning and returned the next day.
We service the notoriously fragile butterfly keyboards (2016-2019 MacBook Pro/Air) AND the modern scissor-switch Magic Keyboard models. Different techniques, both routine for our team.
On most MacBook models the keyboard is part of the top case. We replace the whole top case for proper alignment and warranty integrity. No glue mess, no key alignment problems.
Every keyboard replacement is covered by our 90-day warranty. If keys stick or fail again, we fix it free.

MacBook keyboard replacement costs typically range from R2,800 for older Air models to R6,500+ for the latest 16" Pro models, since we replace the full top case. Send us your model for an exact quote.
Yes. Apple's butterfly keyboards (2016-2019) are infamous for sticky keys, key chatter, and dead switches. We replace the full top case with the latest revision butterfly or scissor-switch (depending on model availability).
Apple's programme has expired for most affected models (it covered 4 years from purchase). If you're outside the window, we offer the same kind of fix at workshop-direct prices, often R3,000-R5,000 cheaper than Apple's out-of-warranty repair.
2-4 hours for most models. Newer Pros with stacked components take longer. We test every key before handing the device back.
Sometimes, but liquid often spreads to the logic board too. We do a free diagnostic before quoting. If only the keyboard is affected, replacement solves it. If the logic board has corrosion, that needs ultrasonic cleaning first.
