Request for Help - Keycap broken
Drat! Last night I was typing away, and all of a sudden my Q key came loose from the board on my old Omnibook 4100. It had happened before, but normally it just meant the key had become unhooked from the board. So I set it aside until this morning when I could see it in the light of day, and gather the tools to put the little sucker back on the board.
So this morning, after having my coffee I started checking out the key-- everything was intact. So I proceeded to carefully attach the pins back to the board, when all of a sudden the connectors broke.
Anyone have a clue where I can get a replacement? Buying a new notebook at the moment isn't in the budget. Email me or put it in the comments please!
Hello!
I came across your blog and noticed the question about the busted keycap. While I don't have a definitive answer, I can only offer the following site, as a possibility:
http://www.sparepartswarehouse.com/vendor-devicetype-partcategory.aspx?devicetype=0&partcat=keyboards&vendor=hp&partcatid=140868
I think that you're not likely to fix the single key, so this might be an affordable answer for you.
I certainly wish you luck and a quick recovery on your keycap problem!
Have a good day,
