    I ordered a replacement keyboard for my Macbook Pro off ebay
    I just noticed that I ordered the european style instead.
    The keyboard configuration doesnt matter to me, but before I take the whole computer apart is it probable it will work with my US model.


    Thanks..

    No, keyboards are pretty much plug & play. Have you ever had to mess with your BIOS after plugging in a new USB keyboard to your desktop? Same thing, just with a proprietary internal connection instead of USB.

    usually the only problem is where to get a new keyboard. since parts are hard to get.
