Hi Wamug,

We've got an iBook G4 (out of warranty) that has a misbehaving i key.
Basically it only works if it is pressed *really* hard.

Is this a common problem? What are the options to fix?

Glenn.

Hi Glenn,

It's not a common problem. It could be stuck, or have something under it preventing it from working.

Have you tried blowing some air around the key to move any grit that might be under the key? Use canned air with a nozzle to blow off any loose dust and any debris trapped between the keys.

Article here how to Replace A Key ..... but be very very careful if you are confident to attempt this.
I would take it to a Professional like Daniel Kerr.
