Replace keyboard from a 2013-14 modell
Hi guys, I have a late 2015 15" retina MBP.
I spilled water over the keyboard and now I'm unable to start the system.
I am not able to find any keyboard that exactly matches my model.
But the 2012-13-14 seem to look similar.
US layout.
Thanks for your help

Thank you so much for such a detailed answer.
I've opened it up before and there is absolutely no water signs underneath the logic board ( I didn't remove the backlight foil...)
After I put everything back together, I was able to start the maschine but
The keyboard is making stupid things "I press 1 I'd presses S or something like this.
The backlight is still working.
I'm pretty convinced it is just the keyboard.
That's why I'd like to know if a (1398) 2012 13 or 14 retina keyboard would fit my mid 2015 retina (1398)
Also if its recommended to replace the whole assembly to make it easier ?
And what about the backlight to avoid repeat repairs ??
Thanks !!!

To make it easier, will a 2012/13/14 retina 15" MBP keyboard fit a mid 2015 Retina 15" MBP ??
Or can somebody provide a source for where yo get this kind of keyboard as I can't find anything that convince me to 100% that it fits
Thanks to everybody for the attention.

Did you test the system out as I explained? I would start there to make sure it was the keyboard. I would also check the ribbon connections at the logic board and at the trackpad. I use a piece of electrical tape to create a pull to help me disconnect the ribbon cables as well as pushing them in. You may want to double check your connections as mis-type keys often are mis-aligned cables or damaged connections.

Yes I did, it turns on and works perfectly fine.
Just now I got it to even start with the keyboard reconnected and I'm able to adjust the backlight so that seems to be fine.
Reopened it and disconnected the battery for now...
I'm 100% sure it is the keyboard
And maybe in future the backlight or whatever is under the black foil (the foil u see when the logic board is removed)
So my question.
1. What keyboard will fit in my 2015 mid MBP retina 15" 1398
As I can only find them for models 12-13-14
2. What would be a good online store to get this part ?
3. And also, will I need screws ?? Or any special glue ?
4. Is further damage of the backlight possible as it sits under the keyboard that would make sense to me ?
Thanks for your patience :)
