Key caps dropped off Powerbook

[Devi Jankowicz]

The cap that sits on top of one of my Powrbook G4 keys has dropped off: one
of the little lugs securing it to the scissors fitting one the key itself has
fractured.

Te last time this happened the machine was still under warranty so Apple's
ludicrous policy of replacing the whole keyboard (£80) instead of the key cap
(1/10 penny) was appropriate: but now it isn't.

Does anyone in the UK know were one can get replacement caps? Where do old
Powerbook keyboards go to die?

Kind regards,

Devi Jankowicz

Powerbook Parts (which is at [url]www.pbparts.com[/url]) is good, and I believe it
runs cheaper than the UK firms.

Dear Steve,

The key cap I lost is an 'H'.
But I really don't mind _what_ replaces it, (so long as it's any letter or
number or punctuation mark key, but not the function keys, which are smaller,
or the various tab, ctrl, return etc keys which are larger.

I'm not fussy! Just need a kep cap so I can make an 'h' at touch-typing speed
without having to hit the 'h' key millimetrically, exactly, plumb centre to
get it to work.

I'll gladly pay postage from USA if there's no-one in the UK.

Kind regards,
Devi
