not r & r one before any tricks i should be aware of .
my daughter just informed me that the keyboard on my gateway 3040-gz i think it is anyway has a broken j and g key they are off the board and loose .
something about they fell off when she drop a book on it said the computer woorks just the keys are off ~ and one is for sure broken .
any clue as what it may cost to buy a replacement keyboard to will help .
the Last time I was Talking to myself . I got into such a heated argument . that is why I swore I never talk to that guy again. you know what it worked now no buddy talking to me.
There are people who sell just keys for laptops and they're cheap, easy to replace. I did it years ago with my old Toshiba laptop because the letters wore off on several of them.
Google it but I think I found a guy selling them on Ebay.
thanks EvilHorace

If you get a real OEM you could probably swap the keys.
I just replaced a keyboard on a Dell. I ordered the kb off ebay, it said Dell OEM, but it was an aftermarket. I only needed 1 key replaced, but the aftermarket key was just a little different design. I just put the new kb in and was good to go.
