[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1631250, member: 56379"] Probably replace the keyboard. Go to ifixit.com for the procedure. Go to powerbookmedic.com for the part (availability & cost). 4gig of ram can be installed…but only around 3gig is addressable. So you would be going from 2gig to 3gig of ram. Max OS on this computer is 10.7.5. If you wanted to install 10.7…you first need to install 10.6 (purchase install disk for $19)…then download 10.7 for another $19. FYI…this computer is probably worth $250 (if working 100%). But with a no battery (non-working expanded battery)…and a faulty keyboard…this computer would of course be worth less than $250. - To get 10.7 installed…it's going to cost $40. - 4gig of ram upgrade is about $55 - A replacement battery is $50-$100+ - a replacement keyboard is $30-$84 on powerbookmedic (could check eBay as well) So it's up to you. There are most of the numbers & you can decide how much of it to do.:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
