    I have a big problem. My brother broke off one of the chiclet keys from my keyboard.

    I need to buy a replacement and install it ASAP because I use my laptop religiously for work and entertainment.

    Problem is I cant find anywhere that shows me how I can replace the keyboard.
    A few videos on youtube only show how to access the ram under it.

    Also, I cant find a store that ships to my area! ([Guam]US Territory)

    Thank you for reading, pleaseee help

    I can't help you with the shipping problem, unfortunately. I think your best quick fix would be to use an external USB keyboard. If you have bluetooth capability, then you can purchase one of those roll-up keyboards or a compact one intended for tablets, for portability's sake.

    As for removing the keyboard, it's not that difficult - you just need to remove the appropriate screws on the underside of the laptop that secure first. And make sure you don't rip it out once you have those screws out! You need to be gentle to avoid damaging the ribbon cable or the connector.

    Thanks for the reply. Thankfully Mythological may be able to ship a replacement out to me.

    Yes my main concern was damaging the ribbon.
