No kidding.
This morning I got up and went into the kitchen for
my morning cuppa java and wake up email browse ...
The keyboard on my laptop had four key caps missing.
WTF ??? Gone were the G, the comma, the PgUp and
the Enter key. This on my laptop that is about 2 months
old ...
I found the keycaps scattered about the G and the comma
looking very badly battered. My only guess is that that my
damned cat, a great mouser BTW, had some fun last night.
So any ideas? Are there key cap replacement kits or???
Anyone know a good repair place? My pretty little black
laptop now looks like a snaggle tooth hillbilly. I am such
a lousy typist that I don't even mind hitting the chicklets
directly but the look is sure not very professional :(
What variety of laptop is it? On many, it is a fairly trivial
exercise to replace the whole keyboard. Unfortunately, eBay does not
have a separate category for laptop keyboards, so you have to wander
mostly through "Desktop & Laptop Components" and "Desktop & Laptop
Accessories".
For future protection, you could get a keyboard condom, found by
searching "keyboard skin'" in the main "Computers & Networking"
category. Perhaps this would just be a new challenge to the cat.
So did it type anything interesting?
