Hello hi, How do I connect an on/off switch to my 2009 MacBook A1181? I did try connecting the a red wire to the first power on pad then a black wire on the 2nd power pad but I clicked it on the on position and it doesn’t turn on I would like to know what I’m doing wrong thanks!
It sounds like you have a very messed up keyboard so you really have no choice here other than replace the upper case (keyboard). Here’s the guide you’ll need to follow MacBook Core 2 Duo Upper Case Replacement and here’s the needed part MacBook Top Case, Keyboard, US (SR/08/09) White (recycled), Apple P/N 922-9550
