Hi,

Does the apple guy still ships ribbon cables for MacBook keyboards? I was amazed how easily it tear off and now I can't even power on my MacBook:( It is white, the first Santa Rosa model (MacBook 3,1).

I was about to and then Paypal retracted the payment. I even offered him a material apology, but he didn't answer me so no I didn't bother. It was entirely my fault, I just took too long to retrieve all the cables from my stack of busted top cases and he lost patience.

I hasten to add it was only that one guy, not guys plural. Others have had these cables in the past from me, and I still have the ones I gathered for him (plus plenty more) so I will not take so long again.

TBH, I do it to help people out, not make cash so I tend not to rush, especially when I'm busy at work. I really only charge to cover postage.

But let me know if you want some.

No, I never received the cables after paying with PayPal. Waragainstsleep was supposed to ship them on April 11, 2008 by his own admission (I paid by PayPal in mid March) and as of today the cables are still a no show. I had to do a PayPal chargeback to get a refund when all my emails went unanswered and the item never showed.

I paid $26 for four macbook keyboard cables that can be shipped for less than $2; it doesn't help people when an item is paid and not shipped and no emails. He did email me later after I posted in these forums, I was unsure at that point. If he had sent the items I would have paid him.

Waragainstsleep wanted me to trust him and pay after he sent me a PayPal money request, which I payed in good faith; as you can see he doesn't trust other people. He could just send the item and wait to see if I pay him. After all he's only doing "it to help people out".

At this point I'm not sure what to think about this individual, he hasn't followed through with one thing he said he was going to do. This is not how you "help people out" and it looks like you also "make cash", which I think is fine.

I did receive the macbook keyboard connectors. All tested fine and Waragainstsleep has been paid. All my doubts have been laid to rest and so should yours, this member can deliver.
