I was cleaning my keyboard on my laptop and broke the "A" key! Hooked a string of a microfiber towel and pow! I have a Gateway and where or can this be fixed? And yes it is broke on the backside with the little gizmos that is designed by Rube Goldberg!
 
On a serious note...... drop it by my office. I'll see if i can get it back together for you. if its not broken i can probably get it snapped back in. i'll PM and address. We are a copier dealership but id rather you bring it to me first and maybe i can get it snapped back in for free, rather than you paying someone an hours labor for 5 seconds of work.

Damn, old man, when I first saw the title of that thread I thought you fell down and busted your ass... a bad thing for old folks. :D
 
"Hooked a string of a microfiber towel and pow!" was this while driving the RV down the interstate too?
 
Seems I only got one responce! Thank you Reid!
 
keyboards are easy to replace on laptops. Not sure of the cost, but they are usually easy to replace; seen the HP tech do it to several of mine multiple times :D
 
holy crap, I know what ya mean about Rube Goldberg. My 2-3 year old kid picked a few keys off our old laptop. I was able to reassemble all but one, it sucked. I was able to google the laptop model number and found a replacement keyboard and instructions. It didnt look terribly hard, just needed the mini rube goldberg screwdriver set. The keyboard was over $50 IIRC, a little more than I wanted to spend. We just made do with pressing the rubber knubby for the T. I have to admit, a few times I couldnt get it to type, I had to copy/paste the letter T from old email.
 
It's a Gateway MX8738, Yes I know it's got a few miles on her.
 
Terry brought his computer by the shop today. I thought i'd be able to help him, nothing i could do though. Got a picture of us working on it though.

I don't know. I don't ever tend to use words which use the letter in question. Possibly I should switch computers with YHDG?

No matter how hard Reid tried......he could not see the porn without his bifocal contacts!
 
Ok, I'll get on this and see what I can come up with. I would understand if it had been the Escape key!
