    Hi all,

    I have a Studio 1537 and just now the F key fell off, the top left clip is broken I think, so It's attached via only three clips, and when I push it to the right, it will fall off! I've only had this for five months! ah it's fallen off again.

    I've e-mailed dell about a replacement already, but they don't work saturdays unfortunately. I've had a look on eBay and there seems to be replacement keys for around £4 each, does anyone have any experience of this? But mine is a backlit keyboard, so will need a backlit key.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    As far as I know, Dell doesn't sell individual keys. They'll probably give you a whole new keyboard, if you're under warranty.

    As raduque pointed out, Dell will replace your entire keyboard under warranty. I don't think they even carry individual key caps. If you don't have warranty, you can get a replacement backlit keyboard for around $35.
