Hello, all ...

I've the 1.5ghz 12" PowerBook G4, and i've noticed that the "A" key is beginning to smudge, while no other keys are. I wouldn't think much of it, if it weren't for the exact same issue happening with the 12" 1.33ghz PowerBook G4 I had before, and the smudge on that one had gotten so that you couldn't really recognize what the key really represented. Has anyone else noticed this?

Regards,

John

My "W" key is smudged like the ink ran. I've had luck going to an Apple Store before to get a crapped up key replaced.

Someday I'll go back.

Aren't the keys on the powerbook like, lasered on or something?

It is molded, the lower part is transulant plastic and the top is silver. How does it smudge? photo?
