| Laptop Keyboards Alright so a couple of months ago I spilt cereal milk all over my keyboard. Lucky me it still works. I ended up cleaning everything out, while crying, HAHA. This whole cleaning process involved me taking off each and everyone of the keys. Well, on the J, K, ESC, and some other F keys... the actual key part won't reattach. Some of the hindges broke and some of them just won't stay. Does anyone know of a computer company who will fix something like this... preferably in the Bay Area. I'd really like to NOT send it to Gateway because I know they'll overcharge and take forever. Or is someone totally computer savvy and know if it's possible to replace a whole keyboard? I hope you guys can help, I'm finally tired of missing keys! lol

| I spilled water on my laptop and they replaced the entire keyboard for me. I can't recommend a place in the Bay Area though. I just took it to a local computer repair place.

| Right after I read your post I remembered I could check out Yelp.com They have reviews and I should be able to find a place around here. Glad to see just replacing the keyboard is a possibility though, thanks

| Something else I thought of.. check and see if your computer is under warranty. Dell sent me a new keyboard for free because it was under warranty.

| Well it should be under like a simple one year warranty... my parents didn't buy any extended warranty. I'll check it out, I only got in June. I feel so bad for ruining something my parents bought me.

| Well, I have the keys... it's the hinges that broke. I wonder if I can find hinges... well I'd probably end up breaking them when I attempt to attach them.
