Hello. One time, my space bar bent to the right. Using small tools, my grandpa was able to take it off and re-attach it. I never had a problem with it afterward. So I know that it is certainly possible for someone other than hw or a computer repair shop to fix problems like this.

Subject: [BNU] broaken enter key and can not send my unit in, please help!

Hi.  My enter key came off my keyboard and is now in 3 pieces.
There is the kind of oval shaped key which is 1 piece.  Then the
second piece  is a piece of metal that looks like a paper clip
would look if you unbent both ends all the way and unfolded it
and then bent both ends back on themselves about a half an inch
each. Hope this description makes sense. Anyhow, the third piece
is a piece of rubber which is kind of round with a round whole at
one end and a pointy end on the other end.  I can not afford to
send my unit in to hw or a local computer shop.  I can use the
thumb keys or the middle of the scroll wheel for an enter key in
some cases like to press enter on a file or folder name, but that
does not work for stuff like enter with dot 4 to turn up the
volume or enter with dot 1 to turn it down or enter with dots
2-5-6 to look up a word in the dictionary and stuff like that.
The place where the enter key used to be is now an oval
indentation with one little round thing in each of the 4 corners
and also 2 little rectangular things, one at the top middle and
one at the bottom middle.  Also, in the center of the oval
indentation there is a round whole I have to stick my finger into
to make the enter key work when I need to do something the scroll
wheel or thumb keys do not work for as described above.  Is there
any way I can fix it myself or if not, at least something to put
in the whole and have it stay there so I do not have to stick my
finger way down in the whole and I can just press down on the
thing I put on top of the whole? Please, Please help! Thank you.
