help - my shift key is broken

[Tommy]

any ideas? should i get a new one or can i put it back? it's in pieces - I have been pressing the little button underneath the key but that has broken now as well!

DH is a computer whizz kid but he has told me that since he doesn't use laptops he doesn't know how to fix it

yes - but's bigger so wouldn't fit and I'm used to it being on the left!

anyone other helpful techies out there?

you'll just have to relearn to use the one on the right

that or a new keyboard would only set you back a few quid, they're cheap as chips these days, tesco do pc hardware for next to nothing.

can you get a new keyboard for a laptop?

yep here dp says it's a small enough job so if you bring in the part and the laptop to a repair shop it'd be done in half an hour to an hour and only cost you for the labour. (he's an IT tech)

or you could get a laptop that hooks up to a laptop via usb, even cheaper but probably annoying in the long run

hadn't thought you could! Thanks pinktulips
