How do you go about it? It certainly isn't obvious. Mine is dead, so I want to prehaps slip some working parts inside. I have a dead Pro Keyboard too. They both died in some kinda power surge, I think, even though I (of course) use a surge protector. I also might consider switching out the white keys on my Wireless Keyboard with the black ones on the old Pro, although some of the key sizes are different. Will it still work, maybe? Has anyone done it?

Thank you VERY, very much. That page and its links are all I need, I think. While it's open, should I try to mod anything? That goes for the keyboard as well.
