She attempted to fix the laptop on her own and damaged one of the screw from the back cover, so I had to use the drill to remove the top/head of damaged screw. I got that disassembled and diagnosed that the keyboard was damaged (before I started I downloaded the service manual from the Dell's site). Attachment: File comment: BEFORE IMAG1022.jpg [ 241.93 KiB \| Viewed 6776 times ] Ordered the replacement keyboard and got it in the mailbox today (cost with shipping ~$30). Spent another 2 hours (also replaced the CMOS/BIOS battery) and voila... Attachment: File comment: AFTER IMAG1042.jpg [ 201.52 KiB \| Viewed 6776 times ] Laptop is up and running. And speaking about the keyboards - see what I also got in the mail today: Attachment: File comment: DAS KEYBOARD (with the penguins) IMAG1044.jpg [ 243.73 KiB \| Viewed 6776 times ] Sooo.. that more like bragging than tech support (unfortunately we don't have the Bragg about subforum) _________________

I have fixed a few laptops , Mainly harddrives, and ram, but i did do 1 keyboard swap. Nice job Dude Also the new keyboard is pretty sweet _________________ Total posts: 1337
