2013 iMac Extended Keyboard - Replacing key Hinge - What Style?

I have an original wired Apple Extended Keyboard, that I special ordered with my new 2013 iMac (thin style iMac). I believe I have the latest Apple Wired Extended Keyboard - Model MB110LL/B (for use with OS 10.6.8+)
Some of the keys were sticking, because I stupidly spilled a very small amount of soda on the keyboard. I was able to remove all the few (6) keys that were "sticking" slightly …. and clean them up with rubbing alcohol, a Q-tip, and canned air.
Unfortunately, one or two of the hinges slightly broke (the little side pin's on some), although all (6) snapped back in place I still wanted to replace the original hinges with exact same new hinges (that have all the side pins).  However, after purchasing the key hinges I needed, from an eBay seller, I found that even though he stated the key hinges were also from an extended keyboard …. that mine and his don't match, and likewise can't be used in my iMac keyboard.
In looking for reference on-line (for extended keyboard key hinge model styles - for the wired keyboard), I still haven't found the exact same match for the key hinge syle I have on my iMac keyboard.  I have found reference to styles AC05, AC28, Type F, Type H …. but still nothing that looks like the hinge style on my keyboard.
I would greatly appreciate any assistance in determining which "model/style" key hinges my 2013 iMac wired Extended keyboard uses.

Here is a photo of the keyboard "Arrow hinge" I have on my keyboard …. and that I am unable to determine which model/style "hinge" it is:
However …. in looking over some reference I have …. It looks like it might be the "AC05" hinge style

    Hi Moe,
    Sounds mostly likje a bad KB, do you have another to test with?
    Or...
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • Replacement Key Hinge for Pavilion Ultrabook

    I'm really struggling to find a replacement two-part hinge that connects a letter key to my Pavilion Ultrabook 14 -
    b130sa keyboard. The product number is D2Z32EA#ABU.
    Can anyone help? PC World and local computer stores either don't want to know or can't find any parts for this computer. I appreciate that it's a new model, but surely there are some parts available?!
    Thanks in anticipation!

  • ThinkPad Edge S430: where to get keyboard key hinge replacement?

    Hi guys,
    I just broke a hinge of my S430's keyboard's key. A "regular" one. Does anybody knows where I can get a replacement? In Argentina?  (is where I'm currently) Or some place it ships to Argentina, Spain, Germany, Canada...? I didn't find any key or key hinge for these new keyboards on ebay.
    I believe it's the same one as the T430u, right?
    Thanks!
    If I helped you, please give me some kudos! ^^

  • What happens to the function keys when i unplug the extended keyboard?

    i use my laptop (12 function keys) with a wired apple aluminum extended keyboard (19 function keys). i assigned a few functions (screen shots mostly) to the upper function keys on the keyboard... f16-f19. but when i unplug the keyboard i'm not sure how to get those functions on the laptop keyboard.
    what happens to those functions when the keyboard is unplugged? is there a way to map those functions to the keyboard so that they are re-assigned when it's unplugged?

    wilyliang wrote:
    question still remains: do f16, etc., exist or can they be re-invented once the USB keyboard is removed (besides having to re-map the shortcuts each time)?
    I haven't found a way, though there might be.
    or even: is it possible to assign two different key combos/function keys to a single command/shortcut?
    Now that depends on the application that's assigning the shortcuts. Some Microsoft and Adobe apps allow multiple shortcuts per function, I've taken advantage of those a few times myself. But cheaper apps often cut you off at one shortcut.

  • What cable do I need to transfer files to my 2013 iMac from my 2009 iMac?

    what cable do I need to transfer files to my 2013 iMac from my 2009 iMac?
    Thanks in advance,
    Braden

    There aren't any ports in common between both Macs except the USB, that can't be used to connect both Macs. The easiest solution is to connect both Macs with a FireWire 800 cable and get the Thunderbolt to FireWire adapter, which you will have to connect into one of the Thunderbolt ports of the 2013 iMac.
    Then, to transfer files to the 2013 iMac, you have to put the 2009 iMac in Target Disk Mode, so start it holding the T key, and you will see the FireWire icon on the screen. Now, the 2013 iMac is detecting the hard disk of the 2009 iMac as an external disk, so open a Finder window and select it, under "Devices", and you will be able to transfer the data you want to your 2013 iMac.
    If you have to transfer applications and settings, too, I recommend you to use Migration Assistant with both Macs connected with the FireWire cable, too > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4889

  • Cannot find hinge type for replacement key

    Hello All,
    for a while I've been looking for a replacement key (and hinge) for an arrow key on my Late 2011 MBP (Al unibody). It all seems to come down to two kinds of hinge, neither of which match mine. I'm confused. If it changes anything, it's an Australian machine. I can't find a replacement for this type anywhere, any help is appreciated.
    Cheers,
    H.
    Here's the hinge (popped the other one off for a photo)

    Make an appointment with the local Apple Store, and speak with a Genius.  Perhaps one can be removed from a defective keyboard.  Be polite and remember, "please" and "thank you" are always appreciated.

  • What Is Small Hole On Back Of 2013 iMac?

    I was looking over my new 2013 21.5" iMac, and see a small hole on the lower center back side, just below the AC plug inlet. Having looked at it closer, it just passes through to the air vent below it (I can pass small folded paper strip through the hole and out the vent below it).
    I'm curious to know what this hole is for. Maybe just a necessary manufacturing hole of some sort, and nothing to do with any "function" of the iMac's cooling?  Does it also appear on the previous 2008-2012 iMac's too?
    I would like only those that actually know what this small hole is there for, or what "purpose" it performs.
    Please do not respond with any wild quess .... only respond if you really know (iMac tech, Apple employee, someone in-the-know, etc.).
    Thank you.

    In looking over the Kensington site, it looks like they have actually re-designed a new cable lock system to fit the 2013 iMacs .... it's designed to lock at the round hole on the base stand, and not using the small hole on the back of the iMac (as I indicated):
    Kensington - iMac® - SafeDome Secure ClickSafe® Keyed Lock for iMac
    New 2013 iMac stands can't be removed from iMac main display unit
    (like previous 2008-2012 iMac models could).
    The small hole on the back of the new 2013 iMac is no doubt there for those still using the "older kensington style" locking cables and connectors.

  • Keyboard to replace keys

    I have my computer for 2 weeks now and my daughter used it dropped cigareete ash on the keys O and P and they are melted....Can I get these replaced on any keyboard?  These keys seem so thin and not like the standard keyboard keys....Please help this is my 50th birthday present and I love it.  I am afraid the O key has a raised up melted part that might hurt my screen when I shut it (close)....

    Morning
     I would contact HP and advise them of what happened.. they might be able to have the whole keyboard replaced. You could also check online for some indiviual keys but they are not always easy to get.

  • Keyboard replacement for iMac Intel OS X 10.4.11 ? HELP!

    My iMac4,1 Intel Core Duo running OS X 10.4.11.
    Can't upgrade OS?, no new keyboard replacement will work...what do I do?, besides drop 3k on a new Mac. HELP ME PLEASE!

    New iMac's are not $3K, they start at $1199. You have had 5+ years of use, perhaps it's time for an upgrade anyhow. BTW exactly what keyboards have you tried and have you done and SMC reset after installing the keyboard. If you don't know how please read:

  • 123 keys not working on extended keyboard usb

    Hey everyone
    My extended keyboard isn't working properly. 0.Enter123 are not functioning. It doesn't appear to be a number lock issue as the rest of the number pad is functioning. I'm thinking its software related. Anyone experienced this problem?
    Set up...
    iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2012)
    2.9 GHz Intel Core i5
    16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Yosomite 10.10.2
    Cheers

    would be pretty quick to test keyboards use generic drivers so connecting it to any other mac or windows or linux computer would show if the keys work

  • Mapping the "fn" key to a key on an external extended keyboard

    Is it possible to map the "fn" key found on Macbooks to a key (such as the RH Control Key) on the current Apple extended keyboard?
    I use an extended keyboard with my Macbook Pro and wish to have access to the fn functions like I do on the Macbook's keyboard.
    Thanks.

    Oh my gosh I can't believe it you are right - there it is under F13 staring at me.
    I have had so many years of that being the "help" key that I didn't notice it had changed on the new aluminium keyboards.
    Thank you for pointing it out.
