[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1422133, member: 56379"] What you need is the proper "topcase". You CANNOT just swap the keyboards...because the keyboard is NOT a separate part...it is integrated into the aluminum that surrounds the keyboard. The keyboard & the aluminum that surrounds it are a single integrated part. If you tried cutting...you would just ruin the topcase. You need something like this: [url]http://www.powerbookmedic.com/Top-Case-Trackpad-Keyboard-Assembly-for-MacBook-Pro-13-Unibody-p-17381.html[/url] This is just an example of what you need. To find the 100% correct part...you would need to provide more model info about the computer. - Nick [/QUOTE]
