A Macbook Pro 13” came today to my work shop because 5 keys wasn´t working, I take off the keyboard ribbon and noticed that the contacts were very uggly, I clean it a little with alcohol and then put it back. Now the only key working is the power key. Do the owner needs a new keyboard or there is something I could try???
We are in Cuba, and it is very hard to get spare parts here.

Not to let anything untried I’d suggest using plenty of good quality flux and heat up nicely the keyboard Zif connector at 250C for a while, being careful not to melt it, rinse with plenty of IPA and blow it with canned air. If you found corrosion on the flat cable there’s certainly also some filth beneath the connector, you might be in luck and be able to recover it with that. If you have donor boards, you might try replacing the connector at once, before purchasing a new keyboard, personally I’d do that first.

I ask the owner for all the repairing history and it seems that everything happended when somebody disassembly the macbook pro for a clean up, so it seems that the keyboard ribbon get damaged by bad manipulation issues. I managed to find a new keyboard very cheap online, and a friend to get it here, so now all I have to do is wait for the new keyboard. Thank you for your help!!!
Hope everything gets solved with the KB replacement, however you have plan B too :)

If it were my call I would try a new keyboard. iFixit sells the part but however it cannot be shipped to Cuba. Maybe someone can provide an upper case assembly that can be shipped to Cuba.

Aaron this is very expensive! Can just the keyboard be replaced (about $25 for the part)?
@mayer Gosh, yeah you are right. I didn't see like a keyboard sold by iFixit so I didn't wanna provide a scam.
