Hey guys just need some help with something, i really dont know how it happeend i was studying and i looked at the keyboard and saw that the L button had come off, not sure if the text book hit it or what, i tried to push the button back in but it wouldnt fit back, took it out and saw that one of the clips was broken, ive got on clip still on the laptop but the other is broken to bits.

Its a samsung R710, its still under warranty but im not sure if they would fix it due to it not being a problem when first bought. Is there anywhere i can buy the bracket or buy 1 key which contains bracket?

Thanks for the help guys

You probably can't replace just one key, unless you get really lucky and find a replacement. But you might try the official Samsung site to see if they have a part number for replacing the entire keyboard. It shouldn't be hard to do.
