    After spilling coffee on my laptop a couple of days ago a few of the keys no longer function so I'm going to take it to bits and see if I can fix it, though failing that I'll take the opportunity to replace it with a backlit keyboard instead. The only problem with that is that I don't see any on eBay and when I search the Dell site I can only find re-conditioned keyboards. Where do I find new replacement keyboards on the US Dell site?

    Even though it is 're-conditioned' it is an unused keyboard. Part number #D795C seems to be the backlit keyboard for the Studio 17. You can look on eBay but I couldn't find any.

    Thanks very much. I've been looking on eBay for the last couple of days with no luck so I'll just have to take the hit and get it off Dell, can't cope without a fully working keyboard especially as some of the dead buttons are my underscore and equals keys, makes programming impossible.
