[QUOTE="newtoapple1, post: 1422142, member: 260789"] Thank you for the replies. The MBP is already apart, and in a million pieces. It is not easy to take the keyboard out, but it is out. My problem is that the new USA keyboard going in has 2 different key sizes on the right side. Both are near identical, but due to the different sized keys, a piece of aluminum will not let the keyboard snap into place. One would have to cut the aluminum piece off and then it would fit. Would probably need to sand down the edges as well. I am just wondering if the MBP will recognize the keyboard... [/QUOTE]
