Hello everyone, I have one of the two clips for the D key on my Compaq Presario laptop that is broken. The key no longer holds. HP Compaq is asking for 223 euros for this repair because they want to replace the entire keyboard. What can I do? I can't find these clips anywhere. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello everyone, I'm joining this discussion a bit late because I believe you have all solved your problems, or at least I hope so, because charging such high prices when there is a very simple fix that takes 5 minutes and just a bit of effort is incredible, as laptop keys are not sturdy, and after my tip, they are even stronger and more flexible than the original! So, I’m sharing my trick that I've been using for a long time (of course, notifying the client) If you still have the intact key (that's the sine qua non condition), you remove the clip from the keyboard, the little "piece of white plastic." You scrape the inside of the key to make sure it is clean and has as few rough edges left by the broken clips as possible, while leaving the metallic parts in the hole left by the absence of the key. In the middle of the hole where the broken key was, there is a small rubber cylinder; clean it but don’t touch it otherwise, and especially do not pull on it to remove it! You take soft foam and cut a small square from this foam to the necessary thickness so that it does not stick up too high above the edge of the hole, and you make a slit three quarters of the way through this small square. Then you place it in the hole so that the small rubber cylinder is free in the slit of the square, but not too tight. You position the key over this foam to adjust the small square so that it is not too high and does not protrude from the key and is invisible, ensuring the key you are going to glue does not stick up or sit lower than the others. When all is OK, you apply quick-drying contact gel glue on the side facing the computer "be careful not to use too much," you let it rest for two or three minutes (the glue needs to dry a bit!) Then you press down hard while placing the key on the foam until the small square is glued in the hole. You do the same operation with the key itself and press hard! Be careful not to glue the small rubber button but make sure it remains free! Here’s a tip that I hope will help you and cost you less than a keyboard or repair. Having worked for a long time as a technician in places where ordered spare parts took months to arrive and where the equipment was guaranteed only until the door of the shop, I have plenty of tricks like this in many fields. Bernard!!

Hello,

If anyone is still looking, I just changed the keyboard on one of my ACER laptops.
I can sell the entire set of keys from my previous keyboard if someone wants them. We just need to check if they are compatible with your models.

Otherwise, if you want to buy an ACER type keyboard: http://www.rekah-europe.com
They delivered to me within 48 hours!

Hello,
I have just seen your message. In fact, my son has a recent laptop with a broken key clip for the / and : keys; it’s an Aspire 5735 Z model, so perhaps it would be compatible with your old keys. If needed, I can send you one or more photos. Please let me know what price you would ask per key with its clip and if you would accept payment by check.

Best regards.

Bernard, your solution interests me. Could you explain it to me differently? I didn't really understand how to trim the foam. Do we make a hole inside? What do we stick to what? The rubber with the button or the foam with the button?

Thank you, Bernard, for this valuable tip, but could you specify what type of glue and what type of foam are best for this repair? Even with a photo to avoid naming a brand ;-)
See you soon

Hello, I have broken the keys on my computer, specifically the down arrow and the exclamation point, and the white thing underneath the keys is broken as well. Can it be repaired? Can I find someone who sells them used and can repair them, please? I need your help.

Hello everyone,

Take a look at eBay UK or US, there are tons of sellers with an impossible choice of keyboard keys for an impossible range of computers from all brands, and even if the keyboards are different, the keys remain the same... Most sellers agree to ship to France... Payment via PayPal. One key in English is called a “key” just like “keyboard” for those who aren't fluent in English... Have a great day, everyone...

I'm interested. Just the little springs that go under the key; I have a Toshiba Satellite PC as well, and I wanted to remove a few keys because they had gotten wet. Unfortunately, the little "nubs" came off. I just need the square and round pieces that go under the keys. Thank you,
How do we do this?

It's a language problem. Change it to French and everything will be fine,
because your computer is set to English.

Hi,

I don't really know what to tell you. But personally, on my TOSHIBA, the keys are sold for a pittance... So you can always shout scandal!! or look elsewhere... 223€ = 1500 francs! it's crazy!!!

One idea would be to see if you can find a used old laptop with the same keys...

See you,
Best regards, Us.

Hello. If you're just missing a key, you could rig something up with a suitable
clip and a steel ball. Otherwise, there are practically
all keyboards, all brands at "www.ipccomputer.eu". Be sure to note your
model number on the back of the laptop. Bye-bye.
