I have a bit of a habit where I pick at the keys of my laptop and they often "pop" off. Well, looks like I've fucked it up and one of the keys won't click back on because one side of the plastic gripper has snapped.
Is there anywhere I can buy a replacement or get it replaced?

If have such an expensive habit why don't you buy an external keyboard and plug it in.
Pick your nose next time, it'll be cheaper.
you're best getting an external USB one, much cheaper
It's a HP Pavillion dv6000. Even if someone knows a reputable place to buy a replacement keyboard?
Apologies, Maybe you could just swap the entire key over. if you touch-type it shoulden't be too much trouble remembering which key is which.

Might be able to get that shipped over to you if you PM the seller
Cheers
I doubt the warranty would apply to a keyboard that you broke yourself - warranties are there to replace faulty manufacturing issues. What a funny habit you have though ... you would really have to dig down and quite hard to lift a laptop key.
haha , vandal
Teagan - The button is on the bottom so it was quite easy - unfortunately.
Maybe I should sue :chin:
My laptop keys have faded so on 50% of them they are blank, doesnt bother me because i don't need to look as I type but if anyone else uses the keyboard they do get rather annoyed. Wonder if anyone has ever seen a white permanant marker lol
haha yeah, almost all of my keys are blank, since im on this thing most of the time haha
uhh i dunno about getting new keys, i never bothered.
