Okey there is a minor problem with my keyboard. I have a Powerbook G4 12" Aluminum. I just used my laptop a little while ago and now the enter/return key that is right above the shift key wont work. I mean how did that happened? I am soo used to using that key for everything its really awkward to use the enter key next to the home key. Does anyone know how i can fix it myself?

neye:

have you tried to repair permissions?

Whenever something goes wrong with my mac I repair permissions and the problem is always fixed.

go to the utilities folder, a shortcut is to press and hold apple+shift+u then enter the disk utility program, then select repair permissions. repairing permissions is important to do after you install any updates or programs
