Well I have a small problem with my Macbook. A couple of nights ago I left it on the floor, and since this is Taiwan there are lots of creepy-crawlies around, well not lots, but some wee ants did find their way into my lovely 'book. I suppose they were attracted by the scent of a juicy apple

Anyway, I got all the little blighters out, including one who hid himself under my letter 'M' key. I had to take that key off. As you can see I can still type with it now, but the problem is I must have been a little too eager with that key, because I broke two tiny pins that hold the two support beams together and give the key its springy feel. Now the key is lopsided if I hit it on the corner.

So, after that very long introduction, has anyone ever known Apple to replaced a single knackered key? I can imagine they would just love to replaced the whole keyboard or something stupid like that.

I don't know if there's an Apple store on the "Dark Side of the Moon" but my wife had one key wear on her MacBook Pro and the Apple store near us replaced it while she waited.
