471306 2006-07-16 09:19:00 Is someone able to guide me as to how to replace a key on the keyboard that came loose and fell off? I have the key and the small square piece that it clips on to. rexkeys (8247)

bump?

Or have you fixed it by now, anyway?

471308 2006-07-22 20:53:00 Bad news Im afraid, even the service agents for Toshiba Staellite dont try and replace individual keys, they simply replace the complete keyboard. However out of the 10 times Ive attempted to do this I have been successful only once.
It all depends on on the damage done to the key ie are the snap locks intact on the key and the spring cradles that the key snap into are complete.

At best this procedure is fiddly and frustrating .

My advice take it to a Toshiba service agent, spend a bit of money on a keyboard replacement because once the key comes off it will continue to pop off making the keyboard unreliable.
