IBook G4 Keyboard Replacement Question

I need to replace the keyboard on my iBook G4 14" 1.42GHz which I bought in Sep 2005.
However, I can't figure out which replacement keyboards online are compatible.
The bar code number on the keyboard is KY5322DDTGKA.
I see sellers saying that their replacement keyboards are compatible with p/n 922-6637, 922-6189, 922-6913, PBF8415 for instance. I can't figure out though if my iBook is compatible with this.
Can someone give me the correct Apple part number for a replacement keyboard that is compatible with my iBook?
Thanks

mac-question:
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
iFixit lists Apple part numbers, then says, this keyboard works in all G4 14" iBooks.
PowerBook Medic also suggests the part is interchangeable.
PowerBookTech offers these links which you can check out.
Be sure you call or email and ask questions before you buy, to be sure you are getting the right part.

IBook G4 Keyboard Replacement

Does anyone know how much a replacement keyboard will cost for an iBook G4 (14 in)? Also, if someone knows of a site that sells them can I have the link?

Hi there:
Several places (online - search) have iBook G4 14" or 12" - replacement
keyboards; one such place has both the item, their asking price and a
link to supposedly help remove and replace it, here:
"G4 iBook Keyboard Replacement - White Ice - New..."
http://www.powerbookmedic.com/G4-iBook-Keyboard-Replacement---White-Ice---New-p- 16595.html
Companies who sell parts, and also provide repair services may also be
good places to inquire; one such could be wegenermedia.com and they
also have a toll-free number (during regular business hours) & real people.
Good luck & happy computing!

Keyboard replacement question

Hi all, I am new here and seeking information on how to change the keyboard on my laptop. I have found various online guides, which do not relate to my model (HP G72 b20sa) and although I have found the screws that should in theory release the keyboard, it remains stuck fast, with a few keys coming off in my unsuccessful attempt to remove it! As the keyboard is shot to pieces (due to a water spillage which has stopped 4 letter keys working) this in itself isn't a problem, but I would like to be able to remove and replace it without doing any damage to the laptop, or having to pay someone else to do it!
Any help, tips etc would be greatly appreciated, it is doing my head in trying to use my laptop with a usb keyboard!

I just did a G72 keyboard about a week ago. Make sure you get the screws under the memory and wireless panels. Page 4-19 of the manual. Also you do have to remove the optical drive. The keyboard locks into the unit with little flanges that slip under the plastic top cover opening lip on the side. Use the little plastic blocks set into the top row of keys as the pry point, not keys. Once you get the top edge lifted up a little, get a flat plastic tool under and slide it around the keyboard to release the side flanges. It takes a little effort. If it still binds you have missed one of the screws.

Hi CyHunter-X,
welcome to Discussions!
Since some water was spilled, we don't know exactly if the problem is only a keyboard problem, or if it is something more serious, in case water did shortcut some other components in your iBook.
The first thing to do always, is to first unplug-shutdown the Mac, then dry everything inside as carefully and completely as possible.
--> Now try an external USB keyboard, see if your iBook works normally.
If it works,
yes, you'll have to take the keyboard apart for repairs or replacement.
If it doesn't work with the external USB keyboard,
then the problem is also inside the iBook, with some other(s) component(s).
You can use a hair dryer. Not too close! And be patient: some places take DAYS before they completely dry up.

Would a Top Case keyboard replacement for Macbook Unibody A1342 (US version), be compatible w/my Macbook if originally it had a Japanese version?

I bought a Macbook Unibody back in 2010, and until now the system is still working perfectly fine, probably because I keep on updating my software version, currently I am on Mac OS X 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion)...I don't have issues with it.
I bought this Macbook in Japan, the keyboard version is on Japanese (with US alphabets) becaue I was studying Kanji back then, and apparently I am now living here in the Philippines and some of my keyboard keys are lost and they were taken off by my naughty niece (LOL, couldn't blame her though... she's just 2 years old)... now I am looking for a replacement. I couldn't find Japanese version of Top Case replacements here in Manila... now I kinda realized I might as well use a US version moving forward.
Now my question is re: Top Case keyboard replacement for Macbook Unibody A1342 (US version), would it be compatible w/my Macbook if originally it had a Japanese version?
Thanks in advance for all the help & informations. I would really appreciate it before I buy a replacement.
Have a good one guys! ^_^)Y

but it has been dropped a bit.
Translation - It has been dropped multiple times.
All the problems are likely related. Better get it to an Apple service rep and be aware that any warranty does not cover abuse of the product.

Trackpad click bar not working correctly after getting a keyboard replacement.

I just got my whole keyboard replaced two days ago due to a sticking "m" problem on my 2008 macbook pro. They didn't replace my trackpad, but now, it seems that my trackpad clicker will only respond if I apply a lot of pressure to the middle of the upper edge of the bar. If I click anywhere else on the bar, the bar is completely unresponsive. It makes clicking and dragging nearly impossible. I once had this problem when I had a bulging battery, but the battery is fine now. Could something have happened when they replaced the keyboard? It can't be coincidence... Is there a home remedy? I know they will want to replace it if I take it in, and my old maching has been off warranty for a while now.

Either a misalignment or a cable is not properly connected.
Since they just "fixed" the keyboard I'd say take it back as they most likely caused this problem.
If you want to do it yourself, iFixit could be particularly useful:

W530 keyboard replacement?

Hello!
I'm a first time thinkpad user. I received my W530 yesterday, and I am very happy with it. there is one thing with the keyboard though; I picked the wrong layout. Unfortunately I havent got enough money to buy a new backlit keyboard with the US layout (mine right now is NL, dutch). Is there any way I can get the keyboard replaced or send it back to lenovo for a replacement keyboard? This is a real bummer, and a stupid mistake. Typing right now is horrible. I searched across the board, and saw some posts about calling the IBM services and such.
Any tips? Thanks!
(sorry for posting this in the wrong board, if so)
EDIT: If it matters, I can replace the keyboard myself if needed.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

As far as i know, the service department doesn't allow replacement of keyboard based on language preferences. i.e. changing from one language layout to another.
You would have to source the keyboard from elsewhere.

Places to send iBook for HD replacement?

Hello all!
Where are some places I can send in my 366 FW Indigo iBook for HD replacement? The drive isn't dead yet, but I do have the 'Clicks'.
Also, would a new hard drive make the iBook quiter? The original hard drive seems quite noisy.
So yes, reccomendations for where I can send my iBook to get a new HD would be great! (Too scared to replace it myself).

Take it to an apple store near you, they will replace the HD for you. If you don't know where one is you can call apple help (1800-MY-APPLE) and tell them your zip code they will tell you where the nearest one is to you. If you buy a new HD it will be much quieter than your current HD. In the mean time if you are using macos 9 use disk first aid to repair your HD, that might preserve it a little longer. If you are using mac osx use disk utility (/applications/utilities) to repair the disk.

Water in Keyboard -- repair question (time/recovery)

Hi All. I think that I spilled a tiny bit of water on my keyboard earlier, right around my shift key. A few hours later, my shift key was permanately engaged and would not stop. I didn't know what the problem was at the time, so stupidly I tried to mess with it a little and popped it off. I also restarted my computer in hopes that that would help, and it did not.
Now, when I try to reboot, it automatically goes into safe mode because of the shift key. I can't enter my password correctly because it is case sensitive, so I can't even get on to my computer in safe mode.
I realize that I'm likely going to have to have the keyboard repaired. But will my files be able to be recovered? I have some very important ones that were not backed up (stupid, I know ). Also, will they be able to access these files BEFORE sending my computer off for repairs? It's imperative that I have them.
Also, does anyone know about how long it takes to get a keyboard replaced? I have my dissertation due in 2 weeks so I am completely freaking out right now.

It was literally a couple of drops. I thought I contained them before any fell into the keyboard but I can't imagine that this is all coincidence.
I don't know how to remove the battery on my macbook -- I've never done it before.
I'm fine with having to replace the stupid keyboard if need be, I'm just concerned about my files and having access to them, and how long the repair will take.

My iBook's Keyboard Space Bar, right and F5 buttons not working...

Yesterday I cleaned up my iBook's keyboard. Everything was working fine until I left my computer idle, even backlight of the display was dimmed. Then I noticed that my display was lit again, like if I had pressed a button on the keyboard, but I was away of my computer, I was on bed. Suddenly the keyboard started acting weird like if it had the command key pressed, so i disconected all power supplies and let the computer opened on my desk. I suspected that the keyboard somehow got wet, but I doubt it.
Today everything seem to be working fine, until I tried to type something and noticed that the space bar, F5 and the right arrow (also end) don´t work :S
I need help of what can be causing this, i already tried reseting the PMU, removing all power sources, checking preferences and even repaired permisions and noting seems to work. I just hope that my keyboard is not defective since my iBook just lost warranty past august :S

I cleaned it with a mild soap and a clean cloth. Both were damp. I have cleaned it like this before and had no problems.

International keyboard replacement - iBook

Since I had a number of keys in which the letters wore out on my iBook I contacted Apple (I have AppleCare) They sent me a new keyboard all right ..... but it was the International version. After calling back, Apple reports this is the replacement and the orignal Querty keyboard is no longer available.
The International keyboard has another key in the home row, smaller return or enter keys. It's a major pain and `i find it unacceptable. I will never use the additional ±§ key. My short little right pinky finger can not reach the enter/return key without coming off the home row.
Anyone know where I may obtain another keyboard?

hey cook...
i know what you mean about the keyboard. my ibook is less than a year and it's printing is already nearly gone. iv had the same question, but no one seems to know the answer. and i don't want to get a new board that is different with key positions. i don't even know where to file a comment to apple about the printing coming off so easy.
