    my backspace button has been going on and off for over ayear now, so i just press on it and it pops in, after awhile it pops back out.

    but one of metal hooks for the backspace broke off :(

    anyway i check ebay and some are selling keyboards but is the metal plate with the hooks for the individual keys included too? or is that part of the laptop...hope not :|

    Not sure what metal plate you are talking about but, if you buy a keyboard, then you will get a whole keyboard. If your backspace key is the only problem, then a keyboard will fix it. If you are referring to something under the keyboard, then that is another issue.
