I need to remap my enter key since it doesn't work after someone spilled beer on my laptop. Is there a way I can do this? I currently do not have the $460 to have it replaced.
I like my water with hops, malt, hops, yeast, and hops.

You can do this by creating a keyboard layout and putting it in /Library/KeyboardLayouts. The documentation for the supported keyboard layout formats is here:

Ticking sound coming from a .pkg package? Don't let the .bom go off! Inspect it first with Pacifist. Macworld - five mice!

$300 for the part, $160 for labor if I have the shop do it.

That is a tad bit complicated.
This didn't actually work.
