Good morning mac lovers!
I am urgently in need of your help.
My business partner decided to give my son his old Macbook Pro A1286.
The only problem is that the keyboard is not in the standard USA layout (and 2 keys are different sizes.
It is in Nordic / Norwegian.
Before I decide to use tools to cut the aluminum frame to make the 2 keys fit (I would need to make space for the larger return key for the usa layout, nordic is a bit different), I am wondering if I install this, will it still even work?
I could of course just log in to the OS and change the keyboard settings to use USA and tell my son to learn it or no laptop, but we already ordered and received the USA replacement.
If anyone has ever run into this problem, or if you know that this may still work, please share the info!
I am definitely not extremely confident cutting a little bar off of a aluminum frame to such a nice laptop, but hey it's Saturday so the mad scientist has time to try.
Just need to know that if I install it, will it still work?
Thank you!
PS. Holy cow I have never seen so many small screws to take out a keyboard in my life!!!
