    Due to water getting on my 6130 hs , for reasons i do not wish to go into, i have ruined several keys on my keyboard by blowdrying the water from the keyboard. Keys "G" , "v", "C", "B" are warped from the heat from the blowdryer. Because I am a stickler for detail this bothers me tremenduosly and i would like to change these keys and if necessary change the whole keyboard. Can someone suggest to me how to go about doing this but under a budget.

    Thank you for your time

    YuCan.. :budget: :hardfind:

    Might be possible to get a replacement keyboard from Averatec.

    I have read on the forum here that AVERATEC will not send parts , but that u have to send your laptop to them for repair, even for something as small as this. I am looking for someplace where they sell laptop parts, junked laptops etc......and if anyone knows the model number for the 6130 keyboard

    thanks

    I emailed customer service and received a replacement enter key and U key that my two year old broke off. I installed them myself and was good to go. I thought their service was fantastic.
