XPS M1530 keyboard problems

Hi guys,

wonder if someone could help me! My space bar on my Dell XPS M1530 has broken - however for any kind of support Dell want to charge me about £20 just for a phone call! I have found a replacement key on ebay however it didnt fit! - which was strange! wonder if someone could point me in the right direction to get the right replacement?! i.e. what code do i need to look for - where can i get it from?

Any help would be fully appreciated!

Thanks!!

 

They probably have different keyboard revisions with different bridges. Why not just get a whole new keyboard? They're extremely cheap and widely available on eBay...

90-day warranty, too. It's hard to go wrong with that...

 

The replacement keys on eBay usually comes with the full kit and replacement instruction. Example is this item 310125235898 from eBay.com

Can you expand your "didn't fit" statement?

cheers ...

 

What do you mean Dell wants to charge you $20 for a phone call? Do you still have warranty on that M1530?
