Hi

I think I have saved the actual laptop but a few of the keys do not work at all.

How much would it cost to replace the keyboard on my laptop ? Is Yongsan the best place to go ?

Also - how much would a run of the mill usb/bluetooth keyboard set me back ??
thanks in advance

Generic usb keyboard 5000-10,000 won.

Replace your keyboard 20k for labor plus the parts.
Yongsan (across the tracks and go to the seon-in plaza) would be the ONLY place I would go for a replacement.

Generic USB keyboards are available everywhere. Probably get one for 5-8k at your local e-mart or home plus.

I would use a wireless keyboard. In fact, I barely use my laptop keyboard unless I'm traveling

make sure you get a "spill proof" keyboard.

in the mean time, you can copy the missing letters, store in a txt file and they're there when you need them, just cut and paste Surprised


haven't had a "z" working key on this one for several years now.
