Anyway, maybe contacting Apple would be a better idea (Maybe they had a dead iBook to pull one from)?. I not only didn`t get any help there, the lady flat out gave me incorrect information. She told me that it was not possible to change the keyboard, and no way would she listen to me. When I asked her "What if a person`s keyboard breaks?", she told me that if that was the case, the person would have to buy a new computer. Aase :) ------------------------------------------------------------ Changing the keyboard is a fairly easy process, you just have to be careful. Just look at the section for upgrading your memory in the iBook manual (PDF version here: http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Manuals/ibook/0221682i BookG4UG.pdf) It is under the Enhancing your computer section of the manual, page 55. After removing the metal "RAM Shield" you will see the connector for the keyboard. Look at the second and third pictures here http://www.bluap.nl/mac/ibookdual.php?ibookid=3 for the ram shield and keyboard connector. You just have to slide up the top part of the connector which will release the keyboard cable. Then pull out the keyboard connector, slide in the new one, and push down the top of the connector to lock the cable in place. Check here for more instructions on removing a zif cable http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/pcyc/zif.htm Then change you keyboard type under system preferences. If you ever need to send the laptop in for apple care just swap the old keyboard in and you are good to go. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
