Broken macbook keyboard

i was recently giving a mid 2007 black macbook and wanted to sell it, however the arrow keys on the bottom right side dont work, and getting it fixed is to expensive, ive replaced a macbook keyboard before, but i was certain it was the correct keyboard. Ive come accross a nice keyboard but it doesnt seem to be exactly matching the keys on my currently keyboard (volume button in different places, itunes play buttons added). could i still have clean repair even with a different looking keyboard?

Is the black MacBook spec in question, the same as the one
in the post's tag-line, and is it a mid-2007 with 4GB installed?
After happening across your other RAM related discussion,
I did a little checking, & wonder if you've identified it proper.
A Late-2007 black (or white) MacBook 3.1 can use a bit more
RAM than a Mid-2007 black MacBook 2.1 that tops at 3GB...
{There were a few that could see more RAM than low spec if
a later OS X were installed; not sure if MB2.1 is one of them.}
•Identify your Mac - Lookup your unit by Apple model or serial number:

Just curious, a difference in identification may affect the
keyboard (top half, bottom case) parts. Have you looked
into http://ifixit.com to see keyboard/trackpad guides?
Hopefully you can get it together & working fair.
Good luck & happy computing!

Broken Macbook File Transfer

How do I transfer files from a broken macbook to a macbook air? I have tried connecting USB cables and migration assistant but it won't recognize the broken computer.

You need to use a FireWire to Thunderbolt connection(not possible in all configurations) or to put the MacBook's internal drive in an enclosure.

Macbook keyboard issues help please.

I have a issue with my macbook keyboard. As sometimes it will miss out on the first letter that i type and i hate it doing that. I have applied the update that was suppose to fix this problem but it still does this occasionally.
Do any of you have suggestions, do i have uninstall the keyboard update then re-apply it again if so how do you do it.
I just got this machine back from being repaired and i do not want to take it back to be repaired. It took them weeks to fix it and they lost the macbook, then found it a few days later and they are a nightmare, they only started to fix the problem 2 weeks after i brought it in and that was only because i kept calling them.
Thanks,

I have already installed the keyboard update and it has fixed most of the issues but i still get the first button press not always being recognized.
Any other suggestions

MY MACBOOK KEYBOARD ONLY TYPES IN CAPITAL LETTERS

my macbook keyboard only types in capial letters

And you posted here with a different computer?
...If not, does the Caps shift around by itself?
Are you using an external keyboard at the same time
and if so, was the Shift key locked on it? You can
choose to set Keyboard settings to ignore input from
the internal keyboard or trackpad, not sure on external.
{Or have you posted with a USB external keyboard?}
I'm presuming the issue is not as obvious as the lighted
'Caps Lock key' that shifts this function on/off. There
may be something sticking in the MacBook keyboard
or perhaps it has some kind of defect issue going on.

Broken Macbook Pro won't finish copying even with target disk mode. Help!

Hi,
I'm helping someone with a Macbook Pro 2010-11. It worked for a few years but eventually degraded last month when it wouldn't go 10 minutes without displaying the rainbow loading ball. Possibly a hard drive problem.
The owner never backed any of the computer up. I am trying to salvage their data before it's lost. The computer can power on. I have been turning the computer on and salvaging most of the data from numerous trips with USBs until it crashes, and then moving on to Target Disk Mode. The computer turns on slowly, displays the rainbow ball every minute or so, and never finishes copying or exporting anything. It still seems to be degrading.
I still need two things: One is a large folder with thousands of old OUTLOOK e-mails created on an old PC (which the owner no longer has).
Second is the folder/autobackup where OUTLOOK for Mac stores all the e-mails and settings.
I have found the folder -- I think it is the Main Identity or Office Identities. Am I correct? Will this bring back OUTLOOK on the newer Macbook Pro exactly like on the old one? I also know where the old e-mails folder is, but when I try to transfer either folder through Target Disk Mode on the newer Macbook Pro, it stops and gives me the "Some data in _____.olk14msgsource could not be read or written." AKA error code -36, halfway through the transfer.
I have tried exporting OUTLOOK on the broken Macbook Pro to a .olm, but it gets stuck halfway and gets stuck back on the rainbow ball. Then I shut the computer off. I have also tried going into the folders through target disk mode and deleting the .olk14msgsource files that are problematic, but there are too many of them.
Please help! The owner needs these files and OUTLOOK exactly like it was!
Thanks!

Tried connecting the cable? Still won't start?
If you are still under warranty and/or have AC, call them & let them deal w/it.
OOW: Take the MBP to your local AS or an AASP. Diagnostic testing is FREE!

How much does apple charge to fix a broken macbook pro screen?

How much does apple charge to fix a broken macbook pro screen?

No one here would know for sure...my guess? Somewhere around US $700. You'll get it done cheaper at a third-party repair shop.

How much to replace broken macbook pro screen??

how much to replace broken macbook pro screen??

Few thoughts:
There is a minuscule possibility that you can successfully convince the Genius that the damage was not due to abuse or mishandling. And if it is still under warranty, a new free screen will be yours. Don't get your hopes up too high, though...
If a Retina, the cost will be so high that maybe selling it for parts and getting a new one might be a better idea.
Same may apply if it is very old. Not cause the screen costs arm+leg, but because you will be sinking lots of cash onto a sinking ship.
If handy with tools, can explore PowerBookMedic.com or IFixIt.com for parts prices and howto.
