I’ve been noticing for the past few months that my three year-old (or is it four) Powerbook’s right shift key has not been right. Last Sunday while at a coffee shop, it just popped right off. I thought it was as easy as putting it right back in like on the Apple keyboard for my iMac. I was wrong. It’s more complicated than that. I tried as best as I could to put it right back in. It worked. Or so I thought.
This morning it again got loose and popped out. Any attempts to put it back in failed. I can see some plastic doohickeys on the underside have snapped off. I guess I have to admit to the fact that this key has no chance of ever going to be used again. Need to figure out a way to fix this.

How did you break your key? Did you try contacting AppleCare and ask if your unit is covered for something like that?

I was just typing and suddenly it gets popped out. at first, i placed it back to its location and continue working. and the other day, it gets out again. and when i check the key at the back there’s a part of it that is broken, i believed it was the portion that tie together the key and the henge.
I’ve tried to call its toll free number(1800-1651-0525) but no luck, don’t know how to call it. I’ve tried globe telephone and cellphone.
If you know someone whose selling a macbook pro keyboard keys here in davao please let me know, I would rather buy one.
- cheers!
