    Hello...

    Tonight I came home to find out the my 2 year old son had been playing stomp the laptop / happy crayon time with my M570RU - (hmm... my comma key no longer wants to works).

    After opening up my laptop and re-seating everything I managed to boot up and get back on.

    1) I was wondering where I could go to purchase a new keyboard. The left 'Shift' key along with the 'G' key are completely missing along with misc keys not working at all.

    2) Also I was wondering if I could upgrade my current processor (Intel Mobile Core 2 Duo T7100 @ 1.80GHz)

    3) And last but not least I wanted to know if I could upgrade my current gpu (Nvidia GeForce Go 7950GTX) and where to get it from. From what I've read I may need to upgrade my motherboard to support an 8800m GT?

    Thank you in advance.

    hmm my 'plus' key doesn't work either.... god bless that little kid.

    Any Clevo vendor can help you get a replacement.

    Try these guys first:
    - www.rjtech.com
    - www.eurocom.com
    - www.sagernotebook.com
    - www.pro-star.com

    yes you can upgrade it up to a X9000 if you have the M570RU-U... if not then you you can go up to T9500 or X7800.

    You can get a 9800M if you wanted.

    Any Clevo vendor can help you get a replacement.

    Try these guys first:
    - www.rjtech.com

    Well after calling the vendor's listed the only thing I was able to get was a keyboard replacement. RJtech was the only one that could find a processor upgrade (2.4Ghz) - but no one seems to be able to sell just a video card replacement for some reason.

    I'm gonna keep calling around different vendors. If someone knows another vendor I could try please let me know.

    Thank you.
