Keyboards identical in an 800 MHz and a 1.33 GHz iBook?

Just what the title says, are they freely interchangeable?

Also, are the LCD assemblies on these models also interchangeable?

Thanks for the help, guys.

As long as the keyboards are both from a laptop with the same screen size, they should be interchangeble. The LCD panels themselves are interchangable, but the LCD housings are not, due to different hinges. And obviouslly, you can't swap a 14" LCD with a 12" LCD, or vice-versa

Er, Chris, yesterday I've had the opportunity to compare the keyboards of an 800 MHz G4 iBook and that of an 800 MHz G3. Both iBooks are 12"LCD screens and the keyboards look alike. However, the ribbon cables are not the same length and therefore have different "reach" distances. Hence, one cannot replace the other. If among G4 iBooks of the same screen size, perhaps interchangeability would be the rule. Unfortunately, I have not had the opportunity to compare keyboards of different G4 models.
