It all started with my space bar that popped off. Then the 'N' and 'L' and some other insignificant keys fell off. I cant pop them back on and I lost the keys anyway.

The biggest problem is that the blue rubber dome under the 'N' key has ripped off. I'm still able to use it put I have to push pretty hard. Will I need a whole new keyboard now?

If anyone can replace my keyboard that lives around Incheon I will pay you.

I presume you're talking about a laptop?

It's best to bring it to the manufacturer's A/S center......

For the most part people tend to replace keyboards. Depending on the model, and in most cases, replacing the keyboard is relatively simple. You can order the new keyboard directly from some manufacturers, off of ebay or maybe even off danawa.

What model/brand is it, and is it still under warranty?

Yes it is, and I have no clue where the manufacturer's A/S center would be. I imagine everything is F'ed with it now because the rubber dome thing got ripped off Mad

I bet the used computer dealers in Yongsan could stick a new keyboard in for you licketty-spit........the Sens R45 is a very common laptop. They would have dozens of them laying around. Take a trip to Sunin-Plaza, Yongsan......make your way to the darker corners where the used parts guys are.

You know what, it does look pretty easy to do, I just saw a video online. I think I'll try it myself.
