I have a lap top Acer Aspire that has two keys that my little rabbit kids picked off.

Can anyone, or does anyone know someone in the Melbourne Eastern suburbs that does laptop key repairs. I thought I would ask here before ringing a large company.

Sometimes I amaze myself. I spent a bit of time this morning with superglue, tweezers and following tutorials. I actually managed to get the keys back on and working. My eyes hurt from squinting though.

I seen on the tutorials how to assemble the two parts of the hinges back together, and they were not broken. The superglue was to fix the silicon rubber dimples back on. The little rabbits picked the keys off, the two hinge parts and the dimples. I had 4 pieces per key to reassemble, and it looked impossible. If it wasn't for the YouTube tutorials, I would have had no chance.

I had a cat jump on my Dell lappie and it broke some keys off. Got a whole new one for $17.
