worn keys on keyboard

[DanielLamprell]

i have read other peoples problems with this and letters 'wearing away'. i have the same problem and my warranty is still valid but from reading the other forums i still couldnt see what i should actually do.
can i get a new set of keys through the mail to attach?

thanks in advance for any replys.

Hi Bianca,

Either way it would appear that the advice given to you was incorrect, which is not very good service at all..:smileysad:

Hey there !.......by the way.......

ANYBODY GOT EXPERIENCE WITH FIXING KEYBOARD PROBLEMS ?

MY LEFT SHIFT-BUTTON DOESN'T DO IT ANYMORE - OR JUST SOMETIMES PRESSING EVRY HARD.............

SOMEBODY TOLD ME: BUILD OUT THE KEY-BOARD - USE CONTACT-SPRAY - CLEAN THE CONTACT................

O.K. FINE ! BUT IS THAT RISKY - OR EASY TO DO ?.............

DON'T WANT TO TURN IT IN FOR REPAIR REALLY...........................

IT'S A VAIO PCG-K215S.........................

THANKS FOR HELP EVERYBODY......................

If anyone needs the PDF of how to install the keys correctly let me know through my e-mail. I managed to get a brand new keyboard but this was after immense pressure and pointing out I had reported the wear key problem 2 months after purchase. Vaio Links policy is normal wear and tear as a result of use has to be reasonable

What Vaio you after? There's a guy on ebay selling Vaio Keyboard keys for 99p each on ebay.co.uk. They're for the VGN-A417M. Other various, full, keyboards for Vaio's are about £10 on there at the mo so it's not an expensive fix

[DanielLamprell]

ok yer lots of ppl are having this prob. thanks again to bianca, thelamus n kee-lo for all your help ..

yer 5 keys should be enough as only the A, O N, M keys are worn ...so far

in the future if they are so tight maybe i will invest in some special gloves.

Hello again

Maybe my turn around of 3 days was a fluke, maybe I was just lucky. In my job as a computer technician, I process the return to manufacture of Acer and Sony laptops. Acers generally take about a week and a half on a quick job, so when my Sony came back in three days I nearly fell off my seat! Mind we don't see many Sonys in for repair, so I can't really comment on whether this speed of turn around is the norm

[DanielLamprell]

hhmm even so ..i dont really want to have the hassle of packaging my vaio n sending it off to them.

seems a bit silly for 2 or 3 faded keys lol

if u are a technician who does this kind of job (or atleast i think) does that mean you could get hold of some keys for me?
or not your department?

id be most grateful its just sony say its wear n tear so id have to give them money for some keys .. thanks

Dan.

That means you can't have a moan
