Its lame that just for one key one has to replace a keyboard. isn't it a waste of resources.
I would suggest to dell to lok at such issues from a different perspective. I for sure understand that stocking such keys would be impractical or commercially unviable. But then just for sake of a key why waste a bigger resource. Think how much raw material+energy went into the same and think of the disposal issue. I suppose this keybord is not a bio degradable.
I believe same issue would exisit for other spares like HD/Motherboard/memory. Talking of memory I have at least 15-18 SIMs from 32 MB to 128MB which I cannot use anywhere.
Yeah I was able to get a new keyboard and it's really easy to put the new one in. I don't know about cost though bc my computer was still under warranty. If you contact Dell they were really good about helping.
The only caution I have (and I know it sounds dumb) but be extra gentle when you turn the computer over to take the screws out. In doing so, I must've loosened/dislodged something in my hard drive and it ended up crashing (and it began immediately after the new keyboard was in)

Hey-
Yeah I was able to get a new keyboard and it's really easy to put the new one in. I don't know about cost though bc my computer was still under warranty. If you contact Dell they were really good about helping.
The only caution I have (and I know it sounds dumb) but be extra gentle when you turn the computer over to take the screws out. In doing so, I must've loosened/dislodged something in my hard drive and it ended up crashing (and it began immediately after the new keyboard was in)
Sorry I didn't reply sooner but hope this helped!
Good luck!
