My key8board on my 800mhz ibook is coming up. The little metal circle under the unglued. Has this happened to anyone else? Should I just superglue it back? Is there a better solution?

Just wondering. It makes my keyboard really mushy. I don't like it.

"The little metal circle under the unglued."

under what?

I think the keyboard is one of the lesser expensive pieces to replace.

sorry, it was the F7 key. Under the F6 and F7 keys. I think I just need to put more glue on it. My old ibook didn't have that, it just locked in place, now they have this little metal disc and a magnet.

The magnet does NOT need to be glued down. Simply drop it into the space allotted for it and set your keyboard back down into place.

It is intended to be held in place with its 'magnetic' properties and not by glue.
