How to get and replace a key on Satellite A100-522?

Hey Toshiba.
I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-522 Model no. PSAA2E-01C01EED and one of my shift keys
has broken down under, so i cant use it (The small plastic bar to balance the key is broken
so the key "hangs". I can send it to repair under the guarentee, and ive talked to the
seller, but i dont have the time to send it for repairs (no replacement laptop meanwhile).
Is it possible to get a new key, and replace it myself? I know some other notebook producers do the same thing,
instead of using lots of time on the repairs, if they are this simple.
Regards

Hi
Well, its very easy to replace the keycaps.
Please check this thread:

But if the whole key has broken you will need to replace the whole keyboard.
To remove the keyboard you have to remove the think plastic cover above the F keys.
Under this cover you will find 2 crews securing the keyboard
Remove the two screws and detach the flat keyboard cable which is connected to the motherboard.

How to remove and replace keyboard on HP Touchsmart Notebook 15-D020NR

I spilled a drink on my keyboard and now I cannot get the Caps Lock to turn off and a number of keys do not work. I need the instructions on how to remove and replace this no frame keyboard. Thank you.

On your Support page- look for Maintenance and Service Guide under Manuals. http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-15-d000-TouchSmart-Notebook-PC-series/6627588/model/6761859/manuals

Why can't I get a replacement keyboard key from Apple?

Rant version
I was delivered a new 15 inch Macbook Pro with Retina screen with a broken 'V' key (literally, just the black plastic panel has a small broken clasp). I was unable to get a genius bar appointment anywhere within London Zone 1-2, Regent St, Stratford and Covent Garden all just tell me there are no appointments available. I called the Apple store in Stratford City to see if they could order a new 'V' key to the store so I could pick it up and click it on. They suggested I call Apple customer services as they wouldn't be able to help me unless I booked a Genius bar appointment, and obviously they had none. I was informed that I would have to send the entire machine away for at least 5 working days and then wait for a replacement to be shipped out. This is a total P.I.T.A as I have already started important projects on this machine.
I managed to book a Genuis Bar appointment in Bromley (30 minutes drive from my house) and called to see if it would be possible for them to order the part in and fit it on the day, during my appointment. They said I would have to come in, just to show them the machine, and then they could order the part using my serial number. I asked why I couldn't just give them my serial number and come in when the part was delivered. They said that the telephone operator at the store could not make any sort of contact with the genius bar, regardless of the fact they are in the same building.
I'd like to point out that everyone I have spoken to have been extremely nice, and understood my frustration, they just haven't been able to do anything that goes outside of their very limited protocol.I find it unacceptable that a company as powerful as Apple, are unable to post a keyboard key to a customer.
As a computer enthusiast, this is the easiest and most simple problem I have ever had with a machine. It has also been the most common-sense defying process I have ever had the misfortune of being a part of. If it were up to me I would just pay the £3 for a replacement online, but Apple have changed the positions of the clasps from the unibody model by about a few microns, and I don't feel like waiting until someone decides to scrap a new RMBP.
I don't mind if Apple don't want me to do the repair myself, that I may need to go through the enigmatic ritual of the genius bar to get this done (heaven forbid anyone but a Genius click the 'V' key on). I don't even mind if it takes a couple of weeks for the part to get there, I just want a replacement key, stuck on this laptop, without wiping the entire machine or sending it away for a week.
Short version:
If anyone knows where I can get a replacement 'v' key for the new 15inch Retina Macbook Pro then I'll love you forever.

Yes it is sad but true I think. I EZprint to do my pano's and they turn out excellent. Give them a try.

How to find and replace data in form fields in acrobat xi, its not allowing to do so while trying, a

how to find and replace data in form fields in acrobat xi, its not allowing to do so while trying, asking for adobe livecycle to get installed. please help.

Easiest way to do it is the following:
- Open the PDF file in Acrobat.
- Go to Tools - Forms - More Form Options - Export Data.
- Save the form data as an XML file somewhere on your system.
- Open XML the file in a plain-text editor (I recommend Notepad++).
- Let's say you want to replace all the years in the dates from "2013" to "2014". Do a global Search&Replace of "2013-" to "2014-" (I added the dash just to make sure that only date fields are edited).
- Save the XML file (maybe under a new name).
- Go back to the PDF file, and now go to Tools - Forms - More Form Options - Import Data.
- Select the edited XML file and import it.
- Done!

How to find and replace any string between " "

Hi everyone,
Here my sample
String szTest;
szTest = "Yellow banana";
szTest = "Blue monkey";
szTest = "Red mango";
szTest is only needed when it's in testing progress. Now I want to put all of that in the /*comment*/ so the released program won't run those code any more (but still keep szTest so I can use it for future develop testing).
So Here what I want after using the Find and Replace Box:
//String szTest; //Manual
/*szTest = "Yellow banana";*/ //use find and replace
/*szTest = "Blue monkey";*/ //use find and replace
/*szTest = "Red mango";*/ //use find and replace
I think I can do this with Regular expressions or Wildcards. But I don't know how to find and replace any string between " and ".
Find: szTest = " ??Any string?? ";
Replace with: /*szTest = " ??Any string?? ";*/
Thanks for reading.

Hi Nathan.j.Smith,
Based on your issue, I suggest you can try the Joel's suggestion check your issue again. In addition, I find a MSDN document about how to use the Regex.Replace Method to match a regular expression pattern with a specified replacement string,
maybe you will get some useful message.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/xwewhkd1(v=vs.110).aspx
If the above suggestion still could not provide you, could you please tell me what language you use to create the program for finding and replace any string using regular expression so that we will find the correct programming develop forum to support this
issue?

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

;-->Code end
Rerun the Live update and hopefully you will now see a entry for MSI Bluetooth Software in Live driver section.
Install the new version of MSI Bluetooth Software and reboot your computer. Even if the setup program doesnt told you too doit.
After rebooting the computer you will see the Bluetooth icon in the taskbar. If it's Red then try too start the Bluetooth services by right click on the try icon and the only alternetiv there is.
If the Bluetooth services is asking for a valid licens.dat then you should do the following.
Surf to Jon's Bluetooth guide http://www.jonsguides.com./bluetooth/prepare.html and download the patcher from the link there.
Unzip the the patcher and then run the BTWPatcher.exe program.
Now the Bluetooth services will start and you will bee able too configure your own settings for the Bluetooth services.
If nothing of this work you could try the complete Bluetooth solution at Jon's gudie and install the IBM version of the same program. I havent test this solution and will not do soo.

I have the MS-6968 device and i want to use driver 1.4.x or 3.0.x. I found the driver 1.4.2.10 but i cannot find any WIDCOMMSecurity code.
So, can anyone give me a link for BTWPatcher.exe???

How to get the process instance key so as to retry a rejected task through api while ad provisoing?

Hi All,
How to get the process instance key so as to retry a rejected task through API while AD provisioing state?
API URL - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E27559_01/apirefs.1112/e28159/toc.htm
Thanks

To retry a task that is in a rejected state, you use the SCH_KEY which is the task key. In OIM, all rejected tasks are listed in the OTI table. It contains all the important information about a rejected or pending task.
You can use the APIs found in the tcProvisioningOperationsIntf class to retrieve open tasks.
