    Hi Folks
    Can anyone help me out here..The N key has popped off the key board of my R700 - thanks to me throwing my glasses down onto the keyboard in a moment of frustration on some work I was doing The key itself must be broken as the ALT GR key has taken its place (never known what ALT GR was for anyway), but the N won't stay on and stays sunk into the key recess.

    Toshiba are asking for £50 (I'm in UK) for a new keyboard plus fitting costs plus ten days to do the work. Broken key is not a warranty issue.

    As all I need is a single key with N on it, does anyone have a broken laptop/keyboard where I can take possession of your N key? Happy to pay a few pounds/dollars for it, plus cost of postage etc. Can send via paypal.

    Alternatively does anyone know how to fix? I think it's terminal but may be someone out there knows different....?

    Here's hoping.....

    I would go to ebay where you can choose between a new or used keyboard.
