Clear keyboard piece broken.. replacement piece?

one of my keys fell off, and the clear piece that latches on to the actual piece and the keyboard is a little bit broken, where can I get a replacement piece?

Hi taylord,
You can buy the individual components (key cap and swing arms) via this website:
http://www.powerbookmedic.com/MacBook-Keys---Individual-Key-Keycap-p-16959.html
In addition, from my experience, a lot of Apple Stores will do their best to try and just replace the individual keycap and swing arm, free of charge.

  • I have a 4th gen iPad and the type face on the keyboard has been replaced with small squares.  How do I fix this?

    I have a 4th gen iPad and the type face on the keyboard has been replaced with small squares.  How do I fix this?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • N200 Keyboard Key broken...

    Hello,
    i am looking for an option to renew the right "STRG" key of my keyboard. It was broken, while our child was playing on it. the key itself is OK, but it won't lock on pad, the contacts are broken.
    Is there any other possible solution to find that key/button on the INet?
    Do i have to replace the whole keyboard pad?

    It will probably easier and quicker to replace the whole keyboard. You might be lucky and find someone on e-bay selling individual keys, but unlikely.

  • I have just purchased a mac book pro. I't will not boot and the keyboard is broken. Also it did not come with an install disc. It's a 2011 13" mac book pro. Any guidance would be appreciated. This is my first mac.

    I've just purchased a mac book pro. It has crashed and won't boot. The keyboard doesn't function and i have no install disc for the original os. What can i do?

    This suggests that your HDD may be corrupt.  In order to try and repair it, we must get into the recovery partition or use the original installation disks.  Try and start your MBP using COMMAND R.
    http://www.apple.com/osx/recovery/
    If that works, note the 4 option menu.  Select Disk Utility>First Aid and verify and repair the disk.
    If COMMAND R fails, try OPTION COMMAND R.  If that works, try the same as above with Disk Utility.
    If neither works, it suggests that your MBP came with Snow Leopard.  You will need replacement disks which can be ordered from Apple customer service.  Have the serial number of the MBP handy and there is a charge.
    Ciao.

  • Foam sheet between keyboard and screen, Replacement?

    Hi,
    I'm wondering if anybody knows if this has a part number ? and where can
    I get one ?
    I'm wanting to know if I can get a factory replacement of the thin foam sheet
    that is part of the packing materials that goes between the keyboard and screen.
    You know, when your Powerbook was new, when you opened the lid
    for the first time, there was that thin foam sheet over the keyboard, speakers,
    trackpad the whole surface area. I guess it's more like the foam is the size of
    the whole screen area, to protect the screen.
    This may seem silly to want to replace this, but I have a PowerBook that's coming
    up on 3 years old and every time I have closed the lid (screen) I have put the thin
    foam in to protect the screen. So, the screen is perfect after 3 years.
    Much different than my co-workers PowerBooks. They didn't see any
    need for this foam and didn't use it and their screens are etched / scratched from
    the keys, mirror images of the keys scratched into their screens.

    Hi there,
    I'm not sure if Apple assigns part numbers for their packing materials, but you could either visit your local Apple store to see if they happen to have any of these lying around, or you could purchase a screen protector to do the job.
    I used the foam sheet for a few years, but lost it recently, so I went out and bought an iKlear Cleaning kit which included a polish cloth which is the size of the keyboard and trackpad area, and I find it does a fine job of protecting the screen.
    Go to klearscreen.com and have a look.

  • Libretto U100 Keyboard - need to replace it - important!

    Hi does anyone where i can get a replacement Keyboard for the Toshiba Libretto U100 Model No: PLU10E-009017EN. My current one has a key missing on it and some of the keys stopped working due to drink being spilt over it by kids. An external Keyboard plugged in works fine but i wish to find a replacement keypad to fit onto the Libretto. Any ideas where i can find one and the expected price?

  • Keyboard shortcut for 'replace document colours?

    (I'm on windows 7 with acrobat 9 from cs5)
    Hi all, I recently discovered the 'replace document colors' option in the accessibility preferences.
    What I would like to know (and/or request if it isn't already available) is if there is a keyboard shortcut to quickly switch this preference on/off?  Or, is there a way to script something like this to add it in?
    If there was a toolbar button, or keyboard shortcut to go with the other accessibility shortcuts, this feature would be even better.  My thought is that you would set your colour preferences for background/text and then use the shortcut to quickly enable or disable the custom colors as needed (similar to web browsers and their custom style sheets).

    There isn't.

  • IOS 8 third party keyboards are broken

    I tried installing three different 3rd party keyboards, Swype, Fleksy and SwiftKey. All of them appear broken with either an invisible keyboard, or a grey background and no keys present. Tapping in the keyboard area doesn't produce any typed keys. All three were downloaded from the app store and then installed through the settings app.
    When I switch from the standard English keyboard to any of these three keyboards (using the global key), the keyboard appears as a solid grey background with no keys, but the app acts as if the keyboard is activated. If I close the app (double tap home button, swipe up to fully close the app) and then reopen the app to type something in, then the keyboard appears invisible as if the keyboard never animated up from the bottom of the screen.
    This happens with all apps that present a keyboard. If I want the English keyboard back, I have to go into the settings app and remove those third party keyboards from the installed list. Restarting my iPhone with and without the keyboards installed doesn't seem to fix or improve the problem.
    here's a screenshot of a broken keyboard in the Notes app:

    Another user posted earlier to go to Settings>General>Accessibility and make sure that Guided Access is turned off. He said it worked for him and some others.

  • Replacing existing file - keyboard command for Replace

    In some apps, if you try to save a file to a location where an older version (same name) exists, you are warned and asked if you want to Cancel or Replace. Focus is on the Cancel button, as it should be. Is there a keyboard command to move focus to the Replace button? I've tried various cobinations etc and I'm sure that there is one.
    EDIT: A bit of Googling came up with this excellent site
    http://davespicks.com/writing/programming/mackeys.html
    and the answer is Command-r

    You can also enable Access for assisitve devices in the universal access pref. pane.
    You can then use TAB to move the focus and SPACE to select the button.

  • 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!

  • Clipboard Keyboard Shortcuts Broken

    I'm a mac whiz, but was apparently stumped on this one. My mom's keyboard shortcuts (Apple-V, Apple-C, Apple-X) aren't working.
    She can still use the pull-down menu, though. The V, X, and C keys all work on their own and Apple-S works so it's not a broken key. A restart did nothing.
    So... how to proceed? Is there some way I can reset the clipboard or shortcut keys? I am not afraid of the command line if necessary...

    re: "My mom's keyboard shortcuts (Apple-V, Apple-C, Apple-X) aren't working."
    What OS is your mother using? Exactly what keyboard shortcuts is she trying to accomplish? These may be different for her operating system than with your Panther OS.

  • Need for Keyboard Updater for Replacement Keyboard

    Apple Care just sent me a replacement Keyboard and it works great.
    My question is do I need the run the Apple Keyboard Update 1.0 again?
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/firmware_hardware/applekeyboardupdat e10.html
    I suspect change is already in my 10.5.6 (Build 9G66) and it is internal to the
    iMac rather than something that needs to be updated in the actual keyboard

    That update was not for your Mac.
    You are correct! I selected the wrong updater. I think this is the one for my iMac
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/firmware_hardware/aluminumkeyboardfi rmwareupdate10.html
    I just downloaded it and got a dialog box saying
    Your keyboard does not need this update
    It already has the updated functionality.

  • Only use 7 days, and my touch pad and keyboard is broken

    High Price and Low Quality.
    My Macbok Air 2011, I brought in Aug. 2011 on Apple Store, was broken. After checking by apple engineer, touch pad and keyboard is not working.
    From 9/17 to date, my computer is still repairing and I cannot use it.
    I think apple should compensate this and extend my warranty...........
    After this, I think apple already lose the credit for me. If I can return for this goods, I would like to return my AIR and get my money back.
    The Macbook air waste my time and let me very very unhappy now.
