    I was trying to replace my Aspire one wireless Card and in the process the key board keys were pushed in. I used a bit more force than needed and the pins above F8, F2 and pause went in. Now my keyboard wobbles though barely functions.

    Any advice on how i can get the keyboard pins back and fit them..Really the whole design of Aspire one sucks, to replace a RAM or WIFI card, we need to fk the entire machine...

    Would be great if any one in NY can help me fix this for a fee

    please advice

    The proper repair method is to remove the top frame to get at the clips from the back side. They are hinged on one side and can be pushed in too far but you just need to realign the tab with its hole using a tiny screw driver. The "Hardware How To" forum may provide more information.
