Mac Forum / General / Portable Macs / April 2005letters on keyboard wearing off...
The letters on the keyboard of my 6 month old ibook are wearing off! Since I do not have particularly long nails, and do not strike the keys hard at all...is this just a fluke or are others having this problem as well? Had a previous ibook and never had this problem at all! > The letters on the keyboard of my 6 month old ibook are wearing off! > Since I do not have particularly long nails, and do not strike the keys > hard at all...is this just a fluke or are others having this problem as > well? Had a previous ibook and never had this problem at all! I've been using my iBook heavily for more than a year, no sign of letters wearing off.

It's not an unusual problem, though of course not everyone is affected. With a 6-month-old iBook you might see if Apple will replace it under warranty.

All of her letters are wearing off, and I know she has a rather light touch... I too would have to say contact Apple. -Mike > The letters on the keyboard of my 6 month old ibook are wearing off! > Since I do not have particularly long nails, and do not strike the keys > hard at all...is this just a fluke or are others having this problem as > well? Had a previous ibook and never had this problem at all! Mine are going too, especially the N and S keys, on my roughly year-old iBook. Funnily enough I do hit some of the keys with the nails side of my fingers, but not those keys. I'm not hugely bothered by it though.

I've noticed the newer iBooks aren't made as well as the G3 iBooks (the orig "iceBooks"), the newer G4's aren't as rugged, and they don't look nearly as impressive either. .02 Rog >>> The letters on the keyboard of my 6 month old ibook are wearing off! >>> Since I do not have particularly long nails, and do not strike the keys [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > .02 Rog Actually, the newer iBooks are a lot better. All of my friends who had the last G3 "iceBooks" as you called them, had to get new computers due to repetetive logic board failure, or due to video card failure. The newer ones hold up a lot stronger, look better IMO, and perform better. -Benito |
