  INDIVIDUAL KEY PARTS
We are selling new sets of parts for replacing individual keys of
  • 12'' aluminium Apple PowerBook G4 laptops
(we are not selling whole keyboards).

Each set of key parts includes (example set pictured at right):

  1. the key's key-cap;
  2. the key's hinge scissor mechanism;

You can also request the key's nipple-shaped rubber spring.
  INTEGRATED SUPPORT

Each order includes

Your purchase is further supported with:
  • A test for whether these key parts can fix your problem: Click here for test.
  • Model compatibility information.
  • Key availability information.
  • A clear return and REFUND policy (see the "Return policy" section below).
  • Discount FREE shipping on parts for second, third etc. keys (does not apply to first key).
  • Large orders (4 or more keys) can get an extra discount. This is done on a case-by-case basis: to ask about your (4+) case use "Ask seller a question" (at top).

  MODEL COMPATIBILITY

These key parts are compatible with ALL generations of 12'' "aluminium" PowerBook G4 (1.0 GHz, 1.33GHz, 1.5GHz ). These models were shipped between Jan. 2003 and May 2006 (Sell dates may be a little later.). Confirmed compatible laptop model numbers (written on the back of the laptops) include A1010 and A1104.

These key parts work with both back-lit and (older version) non-back-lit keyboards (They will not turn a keyboard without back-lighting into one with it.).

The Green Ring Issue

12'' Powerbook laptops were made with two types of scissor hinge mechanisms. We only have parts for one of these types of scissor hinge mechanisms. We do NOT have parts for keyboards with a "green ring" painted on the keyboard base around the rubber, nipple-shaped spring under each position's key-cap. If you do not see green painted around the rubber nipples found under each key-cap then we DO have the parts for your keyboard.
  KEY AVAILABILITY (US/English keys)

Up-to-date inventory information: last reviewed


All standard US/English keys are in stock in large volume . Condition: New.

We do not stock parts for non-US/English keyboards. We mean it when we say "large volume ," currently there is no need to ask us whether we have the keys you are after, we have them! However, it might be a good idea to ask about a key's availability when they are listed as in ''small volume'' (use "Ask seller a question" at top).

  left "shift", "A", "S" and spacebar KEYS : IN STOCK but DOUBLE price ...

So many people want parts for the left "shift", "A", "S" and spacebar keys that we have to buy many keyboards just for these 4 key positions. To keep these key parts in stock for you we need to charge more for them:

OTHER KEYS NORMAL PRICE
In the eBay "Quantity" box:
  • A part set for each one of the left "shift", "A", "S" and spacebar key positions counts as quantity 2.
  • A part set for all and each of the other key positions (including right "shift") counts as quantity 1.
  COMPLETING YOUR ORDER

Make sure you do not have green rings on your keyboard base (this is explained in more detail in the MODEL COMPATIBILITY section above).

Click on the "Buy It Now" button and follow the eBay/paypal checkout procedure while:

  • Filling in the "Quantity" correctly for your order. Remember:
    • Quantity 1 for each set of parts for each key position except left "shift", "A", "S" and spacebar key positions
    • Quantity 2 for each set of parts for each key of the left "shift", "A", "S" and spacebar key positions
  • Telling us which key(s) (eg. "A" or "tab") you want parts for. The paypal "message" section is the best place to tell us (it's part of the "Buy It Now" checkout process). Alternately, you can send us an ebay question email (use "Ask seller a question" - top right).
  • If you want parts for a "shift" key, please tell us if you want left or right. If you want parts for a "enter" key, please tell us if you want the large "enter/return" key or the small "enter" key (next to "home").

Please follow checkout instructions above
Thanks!
