replacing notebook keys
my turn to ask a question...on a 2800T compaq notebook, how do you replace a broken key? or do you replace the whole keyboard? and the how to?
Amond,
try this link: view link
Also try a google on "replacing keys on a laptop"
THere's also a website called www.safemanuals.com that states it has the user manuals of every device ever made since the 10 Commandments.....sort of....
You may find something there.
I never had to do it. I wish I could help from experience, but all I can do is "point".

The only key I want replaced is the "Insert" key--replace it with an "ANY" key for those users who are looking for the "ANY" key when they get a message: "Please press any key to continue".
A "throw-in tip":
On a laptop, especially - but also on some compact desktop keyboards - it's way too easy to accidentally hit the Insert key and find yourself typing over what you already typed - ouch! There are times when it comes in handy to be able to overtype, but if you never use it, you can prevent this from happening by disabling it.
To disable the Insert key in Word 2003, do the following:
1. Click Tools | Customize
2. Click the Keyboard button at the bottom
3. In the Categories box, scroll down and click All Commands
4. In the Commands box, click Overtype
5. In the Current Keys box, highlight Insert, then click the Remove button at the bottom.
6. Close all the dialog boxes
Note that in Word 2007, overtype is already disabled by default.
