    Hi everyone. Keyboard on my Macbook Pro 13" Early 2011 has been water damaged slightly and the bottom alphabetical keys are not working (z, x, c, v, b, n, m). Taken it apart already and gave it a good clean but didn't fix anything. Damage is done, and looks like I'm going to have to replace the keyboard.

    Not a problem doing it myself, but an absolute pain to have to source one through Ebay or the likes. Finding a genuine Apple part is completely touch-and-go, most coming from the US which makes it very costly.

    Is there anywhere in Dublin at all that I can get a new keyboard replacement? I'd probably be happy to pay over the odds to get one today or tomorrow rather than wait a few weeks for a delivery from abroad. Laptop is my work tool and I'm on the move a lot so having to remain stationary with an external keyboard is a pain (works fine with one; not a software issue).

    Thanks to anyone that can help.

    I would say CompuB in Dublin is your easiest bet. I believe that Right-Click in Camden St and Dawson St now also do Apple Mac repairs, you can check with them too.
