PB 12 keyboard bump

I had a similar problem with my 15"... if they make clicking noises that's what mind did.

 

Yup... my rev C PB has the same "bump". It's always had it, never seemed to cause a problem. Someone once upon a time here at MR mentioned this is normal. ?

 

Are you sure the key is completely attached to the base. At least on my PB the key covers can be easily popped off. There are four attachment corners, maybe one of those attachment points is not attached all the way on your F8 key.
Push down, quite hard and see if you hear a click and the key flattens out

 

I just got my Rev E 15" last Saturday and I have the same type of bump on the keyboard (on the delete and cap lock key). Do you guys think I could bring it back to Apple and ask them to fix it?

 

You could try. They might even just replace the affected keys so you don't have to wait for it to ship out.

 

One of my key fell off when I was typing on my "bumpy" keyboard!

This is after less than 1 week of use.. I think I need to drive to the Apple store to have it fixed. Hopefully they'll fix it in-store and I don't have to send my powerbook in.

 

sorry to see that. I have the same "bump" on my powerbook. Doesn't seem to be a problem.

 

I took my powerbook to the Apple Store today and they replaced a brand new one to me. YAY! Although the keyboard is still a little bumpy it is a lot better than my previous one!

 

Usually easy to fix. Pull the key off and reseat it. Often the front is clicked in but the back hooks aren't under, just ontop, making it harder to press. Put the key back on, hooking it in and clicking it down.
