Hi all,

I bought a macbook air from ebay. Got it at what I believe was a very good price (£500 inc postage, selling magic mouse). It's a mint condition 2nd gen model (1.6ghz, 2gb 120GB).

It has one small issue- the space bar sticks slightly, and sometimes you have to press it quite hard for it to work.

The seller included a macbook air replacment keyboard, however I'm unsure whether you're supposed to replace the whole top case or whether you can get away with just doing the keyboard.

here's the listing.

Can someone let me know if I need to get the whole top case replaced if the problem starts to become annoying. I think I'd be able to put the new one in by following guides.
