laptop keyboard

[feistycurves]

The keys on my laptop keyboard are coming off one by one. The 2 fell off last week, the V has been wonky for ages (comes off if you catch it the wrong way), now the E is barely attached. I can still use the keys (obviously) but I'm ending up with more and more gaps.

Can a PC repair place replace the keyboard? How much is it likely to cost?

Some laptop keyboards are easy to obtain and might cost around �40. Others are extremely difficult to get hold of and can cost around �90. On top of that you've got labour charges. A typical charge might be around �45.

The only way you'll get a really accurate figure is to phone round several different companies. Google 'laptop repairs' as your starting point.

thanks. wasn't sure if it could be done at all, or if it'd be cheaper to just get a new laptop (in which case i'd put up without the keys).

What is the make and model of your laptop?

Ive had to change out many laptop keyboards at work and they only take about 15 mins or so to replace.

Costs can depend on what laptop you have, but i doubt they'd be too expensive.

Like i said, what machine do you have - could maybe source one for you.....

Sorry for the delay......

Had a quick look online, but couldnt find much.

If you go onto the Gateway website, http://uk.gateway.com/support/contacts.html - follow the "Click Here" to email technical support, fill in your info and just ask them how / where you can get a replacement keyboard.
If anyone can get you the answer you need, it'll be the company themselves.

Hope you get your problem fixed.....
