| 708124 | 2008-09-27 04:01:00 | Recently I had bought a Toshiba Portege M300 off TM without a right arrow key and until now I haven't really cared but there are a few games that has controls that cannot be changed, and it is extremely frustrating to play games without the key!:badpc: So, I was wondering how much it would cost to get the key replaced (or maybe even the whole keyboard) Nothing over $25 cause I only bought the laptop for $125! I think the rubber thing sticking out is kinda ripped/broken too. TIA:) Blam BTW if anyone knows how much would it cost to replace the WHOLE shell? Its more cracked than Counter Strike(at our school anyway :D) |

| 708125 | 2008-09-27 04:15:00 | Where are you generally playing these games? I it possible to just plug a USB keyboard in, or is this not appropriate in the environment? If you use can use numlock without it interfering with other controls then maybe one of these (www.pbtech.co.nz) would work for you. Or if the program can't accept different key combo use another app to remap (www.google.co.nz). |

I know I could remap the keyboard with sharpkeys but I would prefer to get a new key instead. I would find the external mouse pad a bit inconvenient thought. Oh-and thanks |

Don't know your going to be able to get a replacement for under $25 bucks. Might pay to research into whether or not another Toshiba model used the same keyboard and see if you can't find a dud. |

| 708129 | 2008-09-27 22:44:00 | Go to Molten Media and see if they have any keys from a dead machine that might fit. You never know, you might get lucky. | CI Sue (14168) | ||
| 708130 | 2008-09-27 23:31:00 | Just an [save some $$ idea]; why not pop another key that you don't use often, or at all. Maybe the tilde key or one of the F keys. Use that maybe? | yorkshirekid (9033) | ||

Ok-will check tonight Just an [save some $$ idea]; why not pop another key that you don't use often, or at all. Maybe the tilde key or one of the F keys. Use that maybe? Now that is something I did not think of-thanks-if the above doesn't work I'll resort to this solution :D |
