Due to a little over enthusiastic cleaning today, I knocked a key cover off. nothing looks broken and I dare say easy for the knowledgable to fix.
I was wondering if the local IT students would like to do it at the same rate as the local Comp. man.
Would that be good or not?

If you mean a key from your keyboard, you should be able to pop it back on yourself.0

Are you sure that's wise? they've probably never actually physically opened up a PC or laptop, let alone repaired one.
Had a chap where I used to work, had a beng(hons) in electronics, he'd never used a soldering iron and had to be shown how to use a multimeter and oscilloscope. Basic tools of the trade........“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”

By the age of 14 i'd watched a PC be put together by my dad, and helped screw stuff in. I knew about 'earthing' myself and 2 years later I was going round my neighborhood getting paid to do PC repairs. This was 13 years ago... (And yes, i'd used a soldering iron and multimeter at school by that age)Strider590 wrote: »Are you sure that's wise? they've probably never actually physically opened up a PC or laptop, let alone repaired one.

I'm pretty sure there is a 16 year old in your neighbourhood that can fix it.. any of your friends got geeky kids about that age?0 -
Yeah, if you've an interest in the subject then great..... But you forget that probably 80% of students are just doing whatever course they can in order to avoid getting a job.
