Need to replace dv7-3164cl keyboard

I have a dv7-3164cl (WA806UA) that has 7 missing keys, thanks to my son (age 2) thinking it would be fun to rip them off. They won't go back on.
I CANNOT to save my life find a replacement keyboard. The aftermarket/parts sites seem to pretend this model of dv7 doesn't exist, and the one that does says the keyboard is "out of stock" and has been for 2 months, and even if they do have it, it's nearly 80 dollars.
Is it truly impossible to get a replacement keyboard? I can't seem to find it here from HP either. I also really hate the idea of paying $80 for a **bleep** keyboard.
HELP!!!

Not sure what color you need but here is a black one from an eBay seller I have done business with for years:
$30 eBay keyboard
Last time I suggested eBay here I got a torrent of response saying that people have been ripped off there. I can't really understand it as I do the buying for a laptop repair shop and we rely very heavily on eBay (including quite a bit purchased from this seller) and only very rarely have any kind of problem and even then the seller usually takes care of it. We do confine the buying to a handful of vendors who seem to be permanent fixtures on eBay. For example, this one has nearly a quarter of a million positive feedback rating.
It also seems that the keyboards for the dv7-2000 and dv7-3000 are the same

Need to replace space bar on keyboard

I need to replace space bar on my keyboard of my HP Pavilion Entertainment PC.
It has been completely pulled off and won't click back. I think that little brackets are broken too. I don't know where to go to find the replacement or to have someone replace it for me. Please advise.
Thank you

Hi
Is your warranty valid?
In such case recommend contacting the ASP in your country to replace the kneeboard since this would be covered by warranty and it would be done free of charge.
As far as I know the keyboard replacement procedure is the same like for the R700 Portege series
Its difficult because you will need to remove other parts like
Battery, sim card, express card slot, memory modules, base assembly to get access to an
aluminum tape from the back of the cover assembly. Then you could turn the cover assembly face up and peel off the keyboard adhered to the insulator.
And additionally you can not use the removed keyboard and keyboard insulator again. You will need to use new parts.

HP Pavilion dv7-3164cl (battery not charging)

I have a HP Pavilion dv7-3164cl Entertainment Notebook PC that I purchased from Costco around 2 years ago. After having it for about a year and a half or so it just stopped working all together (wouldn't boot up at all).
So here I am trying to get it to work today. I researched various "plugged in, not charging" threads around the internet.
I eventually got it to boot up but the battery is not charging, it is just going down running off the battery.
I followed this link to try a few things Battery Does not Power Notebook or Hold a Charge
I have the led indicator lit up, telling me the ac adapter is working fine but yet the battery still doesnt charge. The bottom right of the taskbar doesn't say "plugged in" or "plugged in, charging".
Going to the second step of "troubleshooting the system board" on the link I provided had me do this...
"If the power supply works properly, troubleshoot the system board using the following steps:
Keep the computer connected to the external power source and remove the battery.
Press and release the Power button to start the computer."
When I do this my Notebook doesn't power on, it needs my battery to turn on (and it does just fine, with everything working) but as I said, the only problem is that the battery isn't charging.
Then I read further and see this...
If the power LED is on , but the computer does not power on, then the computer needs to be repaired. Contact HP Service and Support for further assistance.
So any suggestions as what to do next? I really don't want to send it in (too costly). I already tried buying a new ac adapter and that wasn't the problem. Maybe buying a new battery perhaps? I was thinking this because it wasn't used for quite a few months, but I was thinking it at least had to receive the charge at the very least. Maybe dying once I had the ac adapter removed, but when I first got it fired up it was up around 86% even after all this time and I was doing a few updates to the computer when I noticed it wasn't charging, but then I had ran it down to about 13% so I shut it off for fear of it turning off for good.
Any help would be appreciated.
PS: I already tried the reset method by removing the battery and disconnecting the ac adapter and holding the power button down for 20 seconds. I also tried the method of going to Start > Device Manager > Batteries > Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery > uninstall, Then scan for harware changes.
Both these methods didn't work for me.
Again, thank you in advance for reading this plea for help.
-frustrated

Hey there,
did you resolve the problem? I have my computer at 48% until it says plugged in, not charging.
All the tricks found on the web did not work - any suggestions?
Thanks

I need to replace my processors....how?

I need to replace my processors on my G5.
I already purchased the replacement processor, I just need instructions on how to do it.
Can anyone help?

Whoever knows how to do a replacement for, please post it here.
Interestingly, I rand the Apple Hardware Test on my G5 (A CD that came with the computer). I ran the Quick and Extended versions. The Hardware Profile tab says I have a 2xPowerPC,G5 @1.8 GHz. So that must mean it's still reading two processors. By the way the fans have been blowing full blast for over an hour while it did these tests. So I restarted and now the darn thing is showing 2 processors (in Utilities=Activity Monitor). What happened? It "fixed" itself???
After starting up and waiting a minute, the G5 froze up. Then I got the gray screen telling me to restart.
I restarted. Then it froze up after I entered my login screen.
I force quit and restarted. Got past the login. Activity Monitor shows 2 processors. Got a dialog box: The computer was restarted after Mac OS X quit unexpectedly. I clicked "Report." Here's what it read:

My iphone 4s is over 2 years old and I need to replace the battery. How much will this cost at an Apple store?

I have an iphone 4s that is over 2 years old. The phone's battery is no longer able to hold a charge for an acceptable length of time. Assuming I need to replace the battery, how much will this cost at an Apple store?

Basically, I'm new to Apple, despite using them before, but I've never actually owned my own.
Since buying this phone off a colleague at work, I seem to be having problems with it. First, I noticed how rubbish the battery life is, then my charger almost went up in flames and thirdly my camera lense is scratched beyond belief.
I know the phone isn't within warranty, although I was lead to believe it was before and during buying it, so basically I'm extremely disappointed with the general make up of iPhone's considering they cost such a **** of a lot of money, you'd think they'd be built to last.
Back to my main point, how much would it cost for a new battery? Or a new camera lense if anyone can help me with that? (I know that the back of the phone was refurbished just before my buying it, so literally just the camera lense)
Thanks!
So basically it sounds like you bought an abused used iPhone and somehow that makes the phone subpar because dispite the abuse it should still last forever and look like new? Batteries don't last forever, even under ideal conditions, so your expectatoins are unrealistic. Take it in and have an estimate done.

Using windows XP. After replacing a bad keyboard apple special keys no longer work with Boot Camp 3.2

My Original keyboard (MB110LL/A) was damaged. I recieved a new keyboard (MB110LL/B) from the Apple Store online. Now none of the special Apple keys, volume up, volume down, eject, etc. work anymore. I have Boot Camp 3.3 installed on Windows XP. Boot Camp 3.3 requires Windows 7. I cannot get a replacement (MB110LL/A) keyboard anywhere.

Adding to the above: I also tried plugging in an Microsoft USB keyboard at the point when Windows freezes at the Windows log-in screen. The keyboard is not recognized and the only way I can leave this screen is to power-off the computer.
