[QUOTE="milessthomas, post: 337159, member: 27943"] [b]Battery and keyboard[/b] Just to let you know its always cheaper if you check in at the apple store for returned batterys at their clearence tables by the checkout counters. These batterys have nothing wrong with them, noobs just tend to buy extra hardware to make sure they won't have any future issues, and often return these extra items, just a few months ago I went by one of the clearence tables and picked up a new ibook battery for about 45.99$US at a clearence table as a backup, and ended up needing to use it as a replacement, I've been using this battery for about 2 months now and have had no problems with it. But I would make sure that you check that the numbers on the battery match the sticker on the box as often people buy the new batteries and put their old battery in the box and return them to rip off sales and get a new battery, free of charge. For the keyboard I would check out ebay. Seems to be the best place I've found to get replacement parts. Other people may have better suggestions for where to get replacement parts, but so far ebay has been the most inexpensive solution. Hope this helped, just trying to give you a few ideas on inexpensive ways to upgrade or repair. (If I got anything incorrect or you know of a better way please let me know, I'm glad to get information that may help me help others better.) [/QUOTE]
