They sell parts . I fixed my backlight problem using a cable they sold at a
reasonable price.
I don't remember if the cable for the keyboard comes off the back of the
keyboard or not.

> I got brave about a month ago and upgraded the hard drive in my 500 MHz
iBook (40 gigs are awfully nice!).  While taking the keyboard off, however,
I busted one "claw" off of the little plastic piece that holds the
keyboard's ribbon onto the motherboard.  Been using the iBook hooked to an
external monitor with an external keyboard, but needless to say I'd like to
stop treating my iBook like an iMac.  ;^)

suggestions on where I could take it for repair that wouldn't charge an arm
and a leg for this extremely easy to install piece?  Fwiw, I'm not near an
Apple store.
