You can usually get spares from the company that makes the things... that is, if you want to buy a whole new keyboard for about three times what it's worth. I'd recommend scouring the PC repair shops on the off-hand that they've got the bit you need in one of their bins. You'd probably get it free too

I do that.
It might be more relevent if the keyboard on my SR-1K actually worked though. It wasn't fond of the yodka/orange it drank at a party once. Ironically enough it didn't seem bothered by the vodka but the orange juice joined up all the contacts on the keyboard and the screen. Now it's just a very small desktop computer.

problemis... usb doesn't work under DOS, so I'm buggered if I want to reinstall because you have to press "o" to start. And yea, a new keyboard is like 150€. Actually... Jetfire, if you tell us what make your laptop is i'll ask for the bit the next time I'm hunting for a second-hand keyboard for mine.
