Satellite R850-169 - Replacement Keyboard key
Posted: 07-Feb-2012 22:49

Hi, I dropped my iphone onto my laptop (from less than 30cm I might add) and somehow it hit the right CTRL key and the key popped off the keyboard!! a tiny plastic bit has snapped off from underneath the key (the mount underneath the white key is fine, just the black key is damaged)

I was basically wondering. Is there anywhere you can get replacement keys for this laptop?

Theoretically you can try to find defective keyboard, remove the same key cap and put it in place on the keyboard in your notebook.
To be honest I don’t think you can buy these key caps as single parts.

Check ebay. Maybe you can find defective or used keyboard for few euro.

Hi

Check this youtube video:

In some cases it’s possible to fix this but you will need to find an dealer who would provide the keycap and the tiny plastic holder…
However, in worst case you will need to replace the motherboard
