Replacing Keyboard

Now, despite being a computer numpty, when four keys came off the keyboard, and the rubbery things too, I was certain it would be a simple matter to replace the keyboard myself ~ so I got one.

You know what I'm going to say, don't you?

No, I can't do it, I can't get the old one out, never mind get the new one in, though various YouTube vids reliably (ahem) inform me that's the easiest bit.

It's an Acer Extensa 5235, and if anyone could link me toward some instructions, I'd be ever so grateful. Of course, you may just advise me to pay someone to do it, as ever, I shall bow to your superiority in such matters.

I ave a dodgy H, so sometimes I will sound dead common, on occasion dead stupid and rarely, pig ignorant. Sometimes I may be these things, but I will always blame it on my dodgy H.

Sorry, I'm a bit of a grumble weed today, no offence intended ... well it might be, but I'll be sorry.

  • unboxing videos I thought what? Then I did a search, 3.6 Million people have watched a phone being unboxed, the mind boggles!
