    Accidentally knocked my End key off of my F3Jp and one of the tiny little tabs on the key holder thing is broken so only half of the key sits properly and comes off easily. I'm assuming if I send my laptop to ASUS they will charge to fix it? Anything I can do without having to send it in and wait a week or two?

    Yeah, if you're in the US, check the ASUS eStore, they probably have the keyboard for around 20 USD.

    If you're not in the US, but you have a friend there, tell the friend to check for you and order one.

    Otherwise, it's a bit difficult. I wouldn't suggest contacting ASUS because you may be voiding your warranty for a minor fault. You can check theFAQon the Info Booth, question "where can I buy parts" from some other suggestions.

    Ah, I didn't think about the eStore, thanks. I'll give them a call tomorrow to see what they say. Hopefully it shouldn't be too hard to replace it.

    No, keyboard is easy. Look for the keyboard on the eStore first.

    Called, and was told to call back to get an RMA for the keyboard since their database is restarting. Lets see what happens.
