    Is there a computer fair near you ? I go to one in Stratford East London. I have saved a fortune it also helps getting to know the traders.
    You can always get more with a kind word and a 2-by-4 than with just a kind word.
  • The best bet would be Ebay as there are many broken notebooks and notebook bits for sale there!!

    You will need a bit of patience when it comes to Ebay!! Can't you use a separate keyboard temporarily??

    Also have you also checked that the keyboard cable has not come loose in the notebook??
