    Briefly,

    I got my right "Shift" key off from my Macbook white Unibody, which I bought early August this year, about 1 month ago. Nothing under the key is broken I think, but obviously I can't put the key back my self. So, I want to ask, will apple be able to put the key back or I'll need to replace it with a new one? Or will my school computer help center be able to do that? In that case I'll spend nothing on it.

    I didn't see anything about the new macbook keyboard cost.

    Thank you!

    unibody keybords are normally sold as the entire upper asembly. cost wise a few hundred in most cases off warranty. it is posible to fix if someone has alot of time and the contacts and tiny parts are available to them

    Thank you for that.

    I've sent it to my school computer help center. Hope they could get this fixed.
