    3 keys broke in my P-7811 FX. I've just looked on eBay and it seems that a new keyboard is not that cheap (I live in Poland so I have to include international shipment costs). Is there a place that sells keys separately?

    I went to my attic and found a broken laptop, but unfortunately its keys didn't fit, although the construction was pretty similar. I think that's because the laptop is 15" and the keys are simply a little smaller than those in P-7811 FX. Are there any laptop models with keys that would fit in P-7811 FX? In Poland Gateway is not popular at all, but for other laptops I can find separately sold keys pretty easily.

    I'm using an external keyboard right now, but that's not a very convenient solution.
