Reminds me of the (apparently true) story - the outgoing administration at the white house as their last act before George Bush started his dismal reign - they removed the 'W' key from every keyboard....who says you can't have fun at work ?Hi folks,Last week my laptop keyboard had a rather unfortunate incident with a McDonalds toy which broke the H key on the laptop (it physically snapped off). Anyway, my laptop being an Acer Aspire 2920 is not a common machine so I was panicing that I wouldn't be able to get a replacement keyboard cheaply.However, after a bit of searching I found this place on eBay: http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/AvestaukltdThe keyboard itself was 20 quid including free delivery, I ordered it on the Friday last week and received it on the following Monday.I just wanted to share my experiences, it's not entirely Ubuntu related, but as it occasionally comes up about suppliers of laptop bits (batteries etc), I figured I'd share the info with everyone. They don't just do keyboards, they appear to do a variety of laptop bits for various makes and models, so like me you find that a McDonalds toy is introduced to your keyboard with force, then they could be well worth looking at.Ta, Rob (with a new H key) :-)
