2020 MacBook Air M1 A2337 keyboard not working after liquid spill

I spilled some liquid over my Macbook Air M1. Some parts of my keyboard are not working at all and some keys are typing multiple characters. For example, if I press on the key "z", it types "zm". After researching, I thought the best course of action was just to replace the uppercase of my laptop. After scouring the internet for a guide, I discovered that are no guides to replacing the uppercase of a Macbook Air M1 A2337. Are there any available guides for this specific problem?

Sadly, Apples anti repair design of the keyboard makes repair quite hard. Apple uses plastic rivets and a few screws which you need to remove, besides the battery and the keyboard backlight.

With liquid spills I just recommend replacing the entire uppercase assembly as often the damage gets into other areas besides the keyboard alone.

Review these two guides as both the battery and logic board will need to be removed MacBook Air 13" Late 2020 Battery Replacement and MacBook Air 13" Late 2020 Logic Board Replacement for either direction. Then it’s either a matter of getting a new keyboard alone or the assembly.

Thank you for your extremely helpful response. So I should follow both of these guides, but not replacing the battery and the logic board, I would just have to remove them, and then install the new uppercase and put back the original battery and logic board is what I am understanding?

@throwaway993123 - It depends! The logic board and the rest of the attached parts yes, the battery gets into what you can find. Here’s a good source in the UK/EU https://www.thebookyard.com/parts-macboo... otherwise you’ll need to leverage Apples self repair offering which comes with a fresh battery at a higher expense. I did forget the display also needs to come off as well.

One thing I do suggest is to keep an eye on the battery as well, I recently had a MacBook Air Mini that had liquid spilt on it, seemed fine, 24 hours later the backplate was ready to pop off, keyboard bent and it wouldn’t even turn on.

Opened it up, 5/6 cells fully inflated and ready to burst, only after removing the battery could I spot the problem: the liquid had gone under the motherboard, and pooled beneath the battery.

This is kind of a ‘worst case’ thing, but always good to keep an eye out to be safe!
