    So after a ton of reading about how to fix the broken and missing infamous brown clip for the keyboard on my cf-28, i took a shot at it. I used an old style wooden match stick (no head lol) to wedge it in and then used packing tape to hold it all down.

    Problem now is the keyboard "works" but im getting extra characters.

    For example pressing the "e" key in notepad produces "ep" and pressing the number "1" key will produce "1[".

    Intersting thing is if i push "p" i get "ep" and if i push "[" i get "1[". At least its consistent! Any ideas?
