I heard about this really strange problem today. Someone dropped their iBook. And now, the keyboard is scrambled. Typing keys on the keyboard, produce the wrong character on the computer. Anyone ever heard of this? I'm thinking that maybe the keyboard is partially unplugged? Although it's a pretty tight space so I don't think there's really space for that plug to be backed out very much. Other than that, I have no idea. That's a new one for me, I've never heard of that happening before.

I think I saw this once. Sadly I cant recall how I fixed it. For the sake of 4 small screws its worth checking the connector. And worth checking its not a software issue too. Boot to OF and see if the wrong characters come up.
I have plenty of more important things to do, if only I could bring myself to do them....
