Repair & restoration of a scratched Apple keyboard - How to resurface Plastic
This video will show you how to make your yellowed keyboard look almost new again.
Coat the plastic in hydrogen peroxide to fix discoloration. Hydrogen peroxide works well on plastics that have turned entirely yellow instead of in just one spot. Fill a plastic bag with enough hydrogen peroxide to cover the plastic. Stick the plastic in the bag of hydrogen peroxide and lay it out in direct sunlight. Wait 3-4 hours before rinsing it off with clean water.
You can purchase hydrogen peroxide at a drugstore or big box store.
If you’re treating some sort of plastic mechanism, make sure you remove all the parts that aren’t plastic before putting them into the hydrogen peroxide.
You can also use an old toothbrush to scrub the hydrogen peroxide onto the plastic if desired
Retrobright is a hydrogen peroxide-based process for removing yellowing from ABS plastics

I have this keyboard and one day I spilled soda on it. I thought it’s already ruined anyways so why not try putting it in the dishwasher. I did and it cleaned it like new. I plugged it into the computer. It was dead. BUT after a few days I tried again and it worked. So after that any time it got dirty I’d do the same thing. Dishwasher. Keep it facing down over the sink for a day or two so the water will drain out and then plug it back in. It’s never failed. I’m typing this comment on it now. I’ve done this at least 50 times

Yeah no. Nobody listen to this. A keyboard is full of electronic components and you will permanently kill it. The water will fry it plus the amount of heat loosen all the glue on the chips. It will not work. This is almost microwaving your phone level bullshit.
Melamine sponges are the work of HEAVEN! Seriously whoever invented those things needs to be given praise FOREVER! They are lifesaving!!!
There was a whole ecosystem in that keyboard 😅 Very satisfying video
looks amazing i never thought a keyboard that dirty could ever recover

Amazes me that this keyboard's only from 2003. It looks so much older at the start of the video, like something from the '80s. _Wow._ I've taken apart my old MacBook Pro (2008) to replace the keyboard and the trackpad (and to clean it out), but never to this extent. I'm amazed / impressed.

I noticed that the keyboard is Swedish :)
Who ever invented the placement of the keys on the keyboard is smart smart 😂, I took 3 years of typing classes and I can’t imagine Keys being anywhere else than where they are, I can type blindfolded and not stress out my fingers
Those, on 1:54 are pumkin seeds peels, in Mexico we call them 'pepitas'.
what was the app that you used in the end pls let us know
what do you use to make they keys and board so nice white?

So the principle to whitening plastic is to expose it to ultra violet light? If yes very interesting. Great job, congrats!

6:05 forbidden candy... in all seriousness, there's something about seeing the interior components of these electronics that knocks something inside my brain, like, the last person to see this was a worker in a Malaysian factory 20-odd years ago, i wonder what their life is like, if they're alive, if they're still working in assembly, do they have a family, a partner, a home? i hope they were able to scrape together a somewhat comfortable life. also those seed things under the keys look to be pumpkin seeds

I defenetely sure that you just bought this keyboard in clear condision and then put some dirt on it, because it impossible to make yellowed plastic wite just with soap and sponge.
Heard hair bleaching developer is used on mid century modern plastic furniture/shelving to get it white again
😅 i genuinely thought this was a wooden keyboard at first glance of the thumbnail. Even went so far as to missread the title as some sort of yellow wood apple tree
Repeat after me: "'Because it's an Apple' isn't a good enough reason to throw my keyboard in the compost pile."
normally keyboard turning yellow cable should yellow first so is that difficult let keyboard dirty than clean it?
If anyone knows of a similar channel where the person talks through and explains each thing they are doing instead of doing it silently, please mention it, I would appreciate it very much.
For those wondering - "hair oxygen creme" is peroxide.
I can't imagine this is worth the effort outside of nostalgia/sentimental purposes.
