[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1606651, member: 56379"] Yes...it...is!;) Very good point you bought up!:) Before looking...I thought that it would require a whole new top case as well...but it looks like the keyboard + power button is removable...and purchasable separately.:) Here's what powerbookmedic.com is selling: [url=http://www.powerbookmedic.com/MacBook-Pro-13-Unibody-Keyboard-p-25716.html]MacBook Pro 13" Unibody Keyboard[/url] If you look at the photo of the keyboard (enlarged view)...you can see the power button "dangling" off the upper right corner of the keyboard. This is a pretty big job...since the logic board needs to be removed to get access to the keyboard (this would have been a much easier project if it was a pre-Unibody MBP)...but that's the way it goes!;) Here are the procedure's from ifixit.com (assuming I got the MBP model correct): Remove logic board: [url]https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Pro+13-Inch+Unibody+Mid+2010+Logic+Board+Replacement/4314[/url] Remove keyboard: [url]https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Pro+13-Inch+Unibody+Mid+2010+Keyboard+Replacement/23632[/url] - Nick p.s. For some reason the "remove keyboard" procedure is not a "complete" procedure. Since it does not show how to remove the logic board first. So the "remove logic board" procedure must be looked at as well. Usually the ifixit.com procedures are all inclusive. [/QUOTE]
