This is a weird question. I am trying to pin down what model of
ibook I have because I have a control/apple key that won't stay on
the keyboard. I suspect some tiny plastic orifice or protuberance
has snapped off, and I can't seem to find anyone who sells individual
keys, so it looks like I need a new keyboard, but I don't want to
order the wrong one. One of the big identifiers is the "display
size", one option being 12.1" the other 14.1". Trouble is, when I
take my tape measure to it, even if I measure horizontally and
include the frame, not just the display, the most I can get is
11.25. How can this be? I don't find any record of 11.1" displays
anywhere. Is this just the sales department exaggerating (again) or
do I have some kind of feral half-mac or mutation?
Other distinguishing features: It has a translucent case & keyboard
and non-metallic audio port (can you tell I've been to I love macs?)
and its cd drive is tray loaded.
I would be very grateful to anyone who can help me with my
identification. Also, is there anyone out there with a defunct
keyboard who would be willing to sell me just the command key and the
bearing underneath? Or sell me the whole thing, I don't care if the
electronics are fried, all I need are the little plastic bits. Or is
there any chance that someone knows where individual keys can be
purchased?
Thanks for listening to me rant and rave,
Chris
