    Hi,

    I somehow managed to damage the backspace key on my white aspire one and now it doesn't really go back on properly. I was wondering if anyone knew anywhere that sold single keys or possibly had one to sell? I know you can get a complete keyboard replacement but I don't really want to do that to replace one key.

    Oh and a UK store would be preferable.

    Thanks.

    Funny, I was wondering the same thing for my sister's laptop (not an AAO; in the USA).

    That said, I've found that keyboard keys today don't come off and reapply like they did a few years ago!

    That's because is cheaper to do "solid" keys/keyboard and sell only whole keyboard as a spare part instead of separate keys... Keyboard is actually relatively cheap...

    I would love to know the answer to this question because this has happened many times to me. A key or two will fall off making it difficult to type. I will try this link above. Thanks so much. I never thought to look this up online.
