I broke my F1 key this weekend. (Accidentally dropped the power supply on it. Don't ask.) I had seen a site within the past few months that sold individual replacement keycaps, but google seemed unable to find it, no matter what combination I could bring to bear on the search.
Nevertheless, I did manage to find the site: http://www.pbparts.com. Their selection of iBook keyboard replacement parts seems pretty reasonable: only the delete and tab keys are out of stock.
I pulled my quote key off accidentally shortly after I got my ibook. I have had other keys come off and been able to replace them, but the "scissors" underneath is off on this key, too, and I can't seem to get it back on short of bending.
If you get any kind of printed instructions along with your replacement key, can you tell me what they suggest?

If you hunt through the wilds of google long enough, there's a webpage where someone describes the procedure for replacing the keycaps and the scissors. It took a while to find, and I don't have the URL handy. But it does exist.;-) Re:How to replace?

Googling for "powerbook key replacement" turned up this article as the second hit.John
