The space bar on my ibook G3 (white) laptop is shot. Sensitivity is gone and I need to pound on it to make it work. I'd like to buy a new/used replacement of course, but my local dealer is not being helpful. I live in London, On. Any ideas where I could buy one (i.e. online, ebay, etc) and what a decent price would be? I know installation is easy, I just need to pick one up. Thanks!

$25.00 Keyboard from iBook 500 MHz Dual USB.

Mine is the 900mhz PowerPC G3 with dual USB. The last G3 to be sold (bought the thing right before the new G4s came out). Think this keyboard will work well?

The space bar wearing out on the iBook seems to be a problem. I have had my iBook for less than a year and have already had to replace the keyboard. Although I do use my laptop a lot, for school notes, essays, etc (write over 600 pages / year).

According to PB Fixit all G3 iBooks use the same keyboard...but there's one for each screen size.

Thanks! All the used/new keyboards I've seen on ebay are usually from US dealers, and I don't want to pay import taxes (or whatever they're called). I've emailed this dealer to see what he says.
