HI Isty,

That picture is 7 or 8 months old so i guess you have been without the key for ages, usually they just snap back on or you can solder a new switch, but the price of keyboards these days is next to nothing, so not really worth the hassle, if you know anyone in the computer trade, just ask for a keyboard, loads are being thrown out these days, or pop to a car boot sale, usually a few there too, you can get for a pound or so.

unless it is a laptop, and the picture you put is just to show a broken key, laptop keys are fairly easy to fix, best way to fix them without experance is take another off next to it, and just check how the 2 parts under the key are put together and just replace the existing parts in the same way, and then snap the key back on top.

if you still need a desktop keyboard, i can probably get hold of one for you, i have an office in faringdon and I am sure there is a keyboard lying about somewhere, as we mainly use laptops now, except for the one desktop in the office.

anyway let me know bud, you not at yarmouth this weekend??

take care

WTF? Are you serious dude? Obviously straight over your head, but it was supposed to be a joke regarding YOUR FIRST POST, lol.

Sorry not at Yarmouth, in fact I don't play Pool at all these days.

Good luck in your new venture and have nice weekend
