Ibook replacement Keyboard

Hi,
I have lost the apple key and most of the keypads are all worn, would i be able to replace the keyboard with a US ibook keypad version for a UK mac?
hope you can help !

There may be a part number for whichever keyboard your iBook needs, and through that,
more information on what would be compatible with your computer should be known.
In some markets, there were different part numbers for the 12" and 14" iBooks; in only
some models. (Given same language localization in both.)
The US keyboard should just work, and if the language is not correct, the Keyboard Viewer
and input source settings, (or International? maybe) may have to be checked to see what
they are on. Other than specific country/language keyfaces, the rest is inside the computer.
If you can find the part number(s) of the keyboards in question, then compatibility should be
a known factor between the UK and US English versions. There should be a number on the
bottom of your iBook's board. Parts resellers should have them listed on web sites, too.
Not sure when the keyboards changed, so you have to watch for that; since a last model
iBook may have a different build than the earlier G4 you have.
Good luck & happy computing!

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!

Replacing my iBook's keyboard...

I bought my iBook for school right before they stopped selling them and replaced with the macbook. I really love it. It has worked perfectly for years now and no hardware issues. The one little problem I am experiencing now is my keyboard has become very dirty and after numerous attempts to clean it I have given up. Sometimes a couple of the buttons get very sensitive. So now I'm wondering... Is it easy to replace the keyboard on an ibook and where would be the best place to purchase the part?

ipodkiller6:
You, unfortunately, don't tell us which iBook you have. Here are directions for the 14" iBook G4. If you have a 12" or the 14" 1.42 MHz, please post back. You will find a replacement keyboard at PowerBook Medic or other online vendors.
Please do post back with further questions or comments.
Cheers

Replacement keyboard

My iBook's keyboard is not working, and although I do know how to replace it, I was wondering if using a keyboard from an iBook G3 Dual USB would work, especially since they go for so little on eBay.
Thanks.

In the US, your "official" source for HP replacement/repair parts is:
HP Parts Store - HP Computer Parts - HP Printer Parts - Compaq Parts
Depending on age & condition of yor Envy X2, you may want to consider a used/salvaged/refurbished keyboard:

IBook G4 Keyboard is dead.

Totally dead. No caps light; no numeric keypad light; nothing.
A USB keyboard works. A replacement keyboard does NOT work.
iBook G4 1.2 GHz 12-inch 768 MB of RAM running Mac OS X 10.4.11.
Will the USB keyboard reset the PMU, or am I out of luck on that?

The external Apple USB keyboard should work to reset the PMU
and other standard keyboard shortcuts or commands on an iBook.
Been about a year since I did that, and my iBook 12" 1.33GHz
mid-2005 computer had been used predominantly as a desktop
computer with Apple keyboard, Apple pro mouse, powered USB
hub, UPS, and other items; and a keyboard tray/monitor stand to
keep the iBook on top. (Did not have to move display lid, either.)
The USB keyboard did everything expected of the internal, in the
case of my set up; and I preferred the desktop layout over internal.
Hopefully you can isolate the cause of the problem.
Good luck & happy computing!

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.

I need a replacement keyboard for a Lenovo 3000 C200 Model# 8922-2FU

My wife dumped a glass of water on her laptop and I am having a really hard time finding a replacement keyboard.
Why do wives love to break the machines?
Thanks

IBM indicates your part numbers could be this: 39T7353 or this: 39T7417 if you have a laptop designed for English in the USA.
Try these people: http://www.acsparts.com/contact_us.asp Do check your machine first (remove the keyboard & look at its exact part number). They can order things they don't have in stock from the warehouse. I bought a replacement keyboard for my 3000 N200 from them a few months ago, it was an exact replacement.

Lenovo ThinkPad W530 replacement keyboard

Hi,
I am looking to buy a replacement keyboard for my Lenovo ThinkPad W530 notebook.
I'm looking for a US English keyboard.
Can anyone recommend an online retailer? I am having trouble with the Lenovo website itself.
Thankyou,
Steven.

Hey there burrows,
As an option, you can always contact the technical support line and request a parts only order, and order the keyboard directly. To contact the support center you'll need to call 0800-5004618. Make sure you have your serial number, machine type and model number handy when you call. I hope this helps!

Replacing keyboard on Satellite L350

A clumsy friend of mine spilt a glass of red wine over my L350 at the weekend which has resulted in my keyboard malfunctioning.
No problem, I thought, should be easy to get a replacement and fit it.
However, as I've taken the original keyboard from the laptop I'm worried that I've damaged the connection and that my replacement won't work when it arrives.
Basically, the black part of the connector has broken - does anyone know if this is considered part of the laptop or will come with a replacement keyboard?
Any idea where I can get a replacement for the black part if necessary.
Any advice would be fantastic.
Thanks.

With new keyboard you will not get such parts.
Does it looks like as shown on THIS picture?
You know, many people here are frustrated and angry when I write that such stuff should be done by authorized personal only and you are best evidence what can happen when people try to exchange hardware on its own.
What you can do is to contact nearest service and ask if they can help. Maybe they have some old broken notebook and can give you this small part. Second solution is to buy defective motherboard on eBay and use this part on your motherboard.
I dont know man, sometimes is everything so complicated but I hope you will find solution for this.

How do you install a replacement keyboard for the laptop????

I can't find any instructions for installing a replacement keyboard for my PowerBook G4 1.33 Ghz. The instructions on the Apple website are for the 1 Ghz model and there is this slot thingy to the left of the NUM LOCK key. There is no such slot on mine so I have no clue how to install. And the replacement keyboard didn't come with instructions either. It seems that the entire case is one piece and the keyboard is embedded within. I tried pulling it up but I don't want to break it.
HELP. I have no key cap for L or F7 and C is on it's way out and I'm on deadline. Of course, it's Saturday as well.

Try the service manual which you can find here:

Odd question about a replacement keyboard for HP pavilion G71326DX

I have a G7 1326DX that needs a replacement keyboard. However A frind of mine recently purchased a G72233cl and I noticed that the keyboards were basically the same, however his had a design that I like much better (Key types). My question is, Can I purchase a Replacement keyboard for the G72233cl and install that keyboard into my G71326DX. I have looked into the connection interface, as well as lined up the notches around the edges of the keyboard with pictures of the replacement keyboards, However I want to make sure it will work correctly before I make my Purchase. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.
Marvin Parnell

Hello MPnarnell,
The keyboard on your G7-1326dx needs to be replaced, but you want to use a keyboard for a G7-2233cl, is that correct? I will try to help you .
Comparing the keyboard section of the manuals the part number for the keyboard you want to you use doesn’t show in the G7-1326dx list of compatible keyboards. The reason being probably is because it has never been fully tested.
Now both computers are G7’s but they are 2 totally different series of G7’s so the motherboards are probably different as well. This is one of those issues where you would have to test it out and see, I don’t believe it will work but I could be wrong. Here is the part number for the keyboard that came on the G7-2233cl. (699146-001)
If you decided to go ahead and try to change it be sure to check for a BIOS update before doing so.
Please respond back at your earliest convenience.
Thanks

Does anyone know where I can get a replacement keyboard for my imac G5 power PC purchased in December 2005

Does anyone know where in the UK or Ireland I can get a replacement keyboard for my imac G5 power PC purchased in December 2005. Running Mac OSX 10.4.1.1?

Not sure where in Ireland to look, but be aware that SOME Apple Aluminum boards will work with 10.4.11. The first Al boards and those through the first few months of 2011 were compatible with any Mac running OS 10.4.11 and having USB ports. Then they changed them to require 10.6.8 for full function.
The ones compatible with 10.4.11 (MB110LL/A) have the icon for Dashboard on the F4 key; the later ones (MB110LL/B) have an icon consisting of six tiny rectangles grouped to form a larger rectangle. The keyboard boxes are nearly identical except for:
the system requirements printed on the front panel
the back panel on the first model reads "Keyboard" where the newer model reads "Keyboard with Numeric Keypad."
When looking for older parts, always consider a Mac User Group:
