Dell Inspiron Keyboard

[Rockinacoustic]

Anyone know and documentation or know-how of how to fix a key that popped out of my Keyboard?

It's an Inspiron e1505, and there are 4 pieces (including the key itself) that came undone when I accidentally dropped a cd-rw spindle onto the keyboard :disgust:. The Key itself is the "pause" key, along the rows of smaller keys on top.

I really don't want to send the darn thing back to Dell because of this, but I'm stumped 😛 I'll try and post pics if requested. Thanks in Advance!

My inspiron 9100's keyboard was repaired using tweezers and a magnifying glass.

You're better off just sending it off to Dell.

I'll deffinatley look into them sending me another Keyboard since I am still under warranty. I assumed They'd make me send it back. Thanks for the info guys!

Just chatted with Dell Tech Support. Literally all I had to do was tell them which key broke, and they said they'll send me a new keyboard. Not too shabby. Thanks for the tip Jejunum 🙂

Update: I came home from class the next day and I already had received the package. Replaced the thing in 10 minutes. Just thought I'd share that with those who bad-mouth Dell support. I've had nothing but great experiences with them. 😎
