    I screwed up the "a" key on my W3V with acetone. Does anyone know if it's possible...

    to buy just one button from Asus and have it changed?

    The button is not totally screwed up, but you can see the damage and it would be nice with a new one.

    Thanks! :)

    Doubtful, you'd probably have to buy the entire keyboard, which shouldn't cost way too much..

    You can buy a new keyboard for like 30 bucks. ask one of the resellers. Its easy to change as well as long as you have alittle tech ability.

    You also ask one of the reselers whether they have some broken keyboard. You can remove the mounting module to move to your own one, or think about what keys you don't use a lot, take it out to move to "A" one.

    IM gonna give you the assembly guide. Just follow it. THere are two keyboard screws on the bottom unscrew them. THen take a smaller screw driver and insert where the diagram shows you and pry up gently the keyboard will come loose. there is a ribbon connecting the keyboard to the pc. remove slowly you dont want to damage it. its easy dont worry.

    My instructions weren't good enough?
    You could always add me to MSN and I can walk you through it step-by-step.

    PM me if you need some more help.
