Replacing the Keyboard Keys With Another Language?

Hello,
It happens to be that I'd like to re-localize my MacBook. That's easy enough to do in software, but I'd actually like to change the hardware keys. What are my options, aside from stickers?

I would not risk it until your computer is out of warranty. As far as I know, the keyboard is not considered a user replaceable part.

  • Is it possible to replace the wifi card with another one?

    Hi
    I have a t400 with intel 5100 wifi card and now I want to install mac os on my laptop.
    problem is that mac os does not detect the 5100 series of wifi card and I want to know whether it is possible to replace the current 5100 model with a older series?
    Is there any certified service center in Uppsala/ Sweden to do that?
    Thanks,
    Solved!

    Lenovo restricts the wireless cards to Lenovo branded units certified to work with the machine. This is done through a whitelist in the system BIOS. I recently disassembled the latest (version 3.14-1.06) T500/W500 BIOS and found the following whitelist table. This is raw big endian hex appended with what I found by searching the device ID's. Redundant entries are for varying vendor IDs.

    Your T400 is from the same lineup and probably has the same list. Remember, you'll need to purchase a Lenovo branded unit.
    Also look for a PM with additional information.

  • Can not change from French Keyboard settings to another language

    Just installed a user account (french) and for some odd reason every time i change the keyboard input to another language it still switches back or simply keeps on using the french input, even if i totally de-select it from the input list and leave only the language i want to use.
    i ran disk utilities to fix permissions, also fixed keychain permissions as well; still the same.
    can anyone please advise on what i should do about this to get it working right?

    ok i finally got rid of france and the french curse here
    Your right to remove the prefs folder,
    1-i moved it to the desktop, and noticed when i re-logged in what was in the pref folder,
    2-then narrowed it down to the files that where again created automatically in the prefs folder for the keyboard input after i selected another country flag .
    3- i then drag and dropped all the files from the previous prefs folder that had the com.apple etc, and i chose to replace what i refered, like for example my DOC prefs, and the rest i did not replace.
    everything is now back, this user had so many prefs since OS9 !, wierdo.

  • Trying to replace the Keyboard for HP Pavilion DV7-3180us. Need part number & compatible parts.

    I have a HP Pavilion DV7-3180us laptop.  I have to replace the Keyboard because I have about 7 missing keys.  I have been looking for a good replacement but I want to ensure that I am getting the lowest price and the correct part.   I don't have a lot to spend on it but it looks cheaper or about the same price, to buy the whole keyboard rather than the seperate keys.  Is this keyboard compatible with other keyboards?  This would give me more options to find one in stock and a reasonable price.  Also, need a new AC Adapter charger.  I have seen it listed with 3 different watts 65w, 90w, & 120w.  Is this accurate?  I find the parts listed under my computer manufacturer number but I am skeptical that it is correct.  I have seen some reviews where people say that the keyboard replacement listed for DV7-3180us did not fit.  Anyone with any help to make this easier I would very much appreciate.  Thanks. 

    Hi:
    My advice is to read chapter 3 of the dv7 service manual below, and cross reference the part numbers or only buy the parts you need with the HP part numbers.

  • Can I replace the keyboard of CQ56-115DX?

    Hi,  I have a brand new CQ56-115DX. It comes with a non-standard keyboard which makes typing quite inconvenient---I am used to the standard keyboard and frequently hit the quick  launch keys when I need to use "Tab", "Shift" and "Ctrl".
    This is very annoying to me.  I would like to replace the keyboard with for example: the keyboard for CQ61.
    Can you let me know if the CQ61 keyboard would be compatible?   If not, is there any other compatible standard keyboard that I can use?   I know how to replace the keyboard just need to find compatible parts. Thanks.

    You can find list of compatible parts for this model over here

  • How to Replace the arrow key on Pavilion dv7

    So, the left arrow key on the laptops keyboard popped out. My laptop is HP Pavilion dv7-6195us.
    I'm living in Croatia, Europe, but I have found this site , and I want to order the key.
    But the problem is I don't see my laptop model, specified above. Can you guys give me the exact link which key should I buy?
    And if you know any better site for ordering the keyboard keys, please let me know.

    Hi,
    You should buy a new keyboard. I don't think that you can replace a key on a laptop keyboard (it won't last too long). I have a manual with all the part numbers so I guess that you will need the same keyboard as in Slovenia, because I can't find a dedicated keyboard for Croatia. The Czech rep and Slovakia use the same keyboard as well.
    The part number for a black Slovenia keyboard is: 639396-BA1
    http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02842278.pdf
    It looks like the laptop is from the US so the part number for the original keyboard is: 639396-001
    I guess that you will have to stick with the US keyboard.

  • 10.6.8 software update won't reboot. It replaces the Apple logo with a circle with a diagonal line though it. What's the best course of action from here?

    I used software update last night and my iMac didn't restart afterwards. I spun the little "dashed" wheel for a bit and then replaced the Apple Logo with a slashed circle symbol. I"ve tried several fixes without success and would like to know what my best approach might be.
    I've tried to boot into single user mode but that failed the same as above. I've tried disk verify and repair permissions using Disk Utility, again without success in fixing the problem.

    is a Apple kext file and likely necessary.
    What you can do is backup your Users folders to another external drive (not TimeMachine) first so you have your files outside of TM. Disconnect this drive for safety reasons.
    Then hold c and boot off the OS X 10.6 installer disk and simply reinstall OS X on top of the installed version, then use the 10.6.8 Combo Update here
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    That should replace the troubled kext file with a fresh version.
    This shouldn't bother your files or third party programs unless they have kext files or other "hooks" into OS X, if these programs fail, then just reinstall them from fresh sources and/or update to reinstall their missing parts.
    Consider cloning your boot drive to a external HFS+ journaled formatted drive with Carbon Copy Cloner.

  • Hi! i recently got a macbook pro 15" retina display, and i tried to play assassin's creed 2 and other games on it, but the thing is, the keyboard keys will not respond except the trackpad, and the keyboard keys work fine outside of gaming.

    Hi! so like i said in the title, i tried to play any game like assassin's creed and minecraft, but the keyboard wont respond but the trackpad does, also i tried restarting reinstalling checking if mouse key is on or off and all that, and it still wont fix this problem.  Outside of gaming though, the keyboard works with no problem. Please help me!

    You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the 13” white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

    Thanks for your answer,
    "relevant object" means for you datasources, transfer rules and transformations ?
    With the grouping option "Save for system copy" I can't take easily all datasources, and others objects
    Will I have to pick all object one by one ?

  • MSI Wind U110 - Reverse/swap the keys functions of the "Fn" key with "Left Ctrl"

    Hi guys,
    is there a bios-fix to reverse/swap the keys functions of the "Fn" key with "Left Ctrl" for the MSI Wind U110. I don't know why this keyboard is still that disfunctional. I think this is a well known issue, people complaining about for a long time. I am really hoping that you can help me.
    Thank you, CyberKlabauter.

    Have you tried using the 'Search' function up there.
    I did. But maybe I'm to stupid to do it right. I found this thread http://forum.msi.com.tw/index.php?topic=121066.0 but there is nothing about the U110. If I'm searching for U110 I get only three topics (one is this one). I guess I shouldn't use any bios hack from a other model.
    May you're willing to help me a little bit more. Thank you.
