Hey chappies,
after much deliberating on that keyboard with faded keys, I went through the trouble to buy one through eBay. Great looking, all new and shipped smoothly and fast. Of course me being the idiot that I am, I bought it for a 12 inches iBook while mine is bigger. The keyboard is itself no bigger, but the ribbon cable at the back does not reach its designated slot. I am already relieved I only need it as a supply of fresh keys, but I wouldn't want to add insult to injury and snap the keys off (off both keyboards probably) while attempting replacement. How do I take the things off? Do I press and slide? Use a screwdriver? A knife? A pencil? I have had a look but I am not entirely sure hence I am here... Thanks!!!
