Qosmio X series - keybaord key come off, how to replace it?

Hi guys,
I have problem with S button on my keyboard was not working properly after pressing (didnt bounce back) so I try to fix it. LOL I clean it but I am not able to put it back in the plastic rack under the black button is broke and I am not able to put button back in. Do you know how I can fix it and where to buy missing part in UK?
I have contacted with Toshiba and I can send my laptop for warranty repair but that will takes like 2 weeks. And it is just bloody one key from keyboard.
Regards
Chris

It's pretty easy to do, get something thin like a credit card and run it along the bottom and sides of the keyboard and there are several bracket things that will pop the keyboard up when you pressure them. There will be a couple of cables to clip out behind it so lift it up gently.
You should be able to find a video on youtube anyway!

It shouldn't be too hard to track a replacement down.

Left command key has broken off - how to replace?

So a few days ago I caught my left command key with my nail and the top half of it lifted away from the mechanism underneath. I pressed it until I heard it click back into place and then merrily continued using my computer as usual. Today I was typing and the whole thing just came off under my thumb, which is annoying to say the least.
The biggest issue is that as I was trying to reconnect key to mechanism, the little criss-cross doohickey came off as well! I am left with a little silicon nipple which, while titilating, is not really conducive to the kind of high volume typing I'm used to!
I really don't want to pay 40 bucks to get Apple Support to replace a single key for me - I just need to know how to do it myself. It's only one key and I could probably learn to get used to using the right one, but it would be easier if I could just click it back into place. It's not broken, the mechanism itself seems fine and the key works if I push the little nubbin, so I'm not concerned about that. I just think $40 is too much to pay someone to click a key back into place! I wasn't even doing anything out of the ordinary with it like trying to remove or replace the keys T^T
I'm especially gutted since I just bought a new iPhone from the same Apple shop I bought my laptop like three days ago - if I'd known my laptop was gonna bust I'd have saved myself the money and spent it on repairs instead! Fml, right?
Any help you folks can offer would be very gratefully received - if it comes down to it and I have to fork out the money then I'll do so, but I'd like to explore community options first on the off chance that someone knows how to replace the mechanism and key without having to lug my computer all the way into the city to get it fixed xD
Thanks in advance!

TS1292 my code on my itunes card has come off, how can i redeem it with =out the code,

when trying to take the sticky off the back of the card all the code has come off. I do have receipt for it as i bought in a supermarket today, how can i redeem this itunes card now, as i paid 25pds.

See this support article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1292
If you can't get the card to work after perusing that page, as will obviously not be possible if the code has come completely off, contact the iTunes Store Support; instructions are at the bottom of that article.
Regards.

Broken key... how to replace

my right apple-key is physically broken. It still sends the signal to the computer when i press it, but it's wobbly and will come off from time to time. by looking at it, i can see exactly what is wrong and it's only the grey-plastic part of the key that is broken. If i get a new one I believe I can stick it back on there pretty easily. My question is, if I go to Apple for a new command key will they need to replace it themselves (i.e. send my computer away for who knows how long) or can I just get it fixed on the spot. Or can I call apple and have them ship me a key? or does anyone know where I can get an individual key for cheap?

Hi
I've had one of my keycaps broken off before and had luck replacing it with parts from powerbookmedics.
http://www.powerbookmedic.com/Powerbook-Keys-MacBook-Pro---Individual-Key-Keycap -p-16753.html
It may be easier to talk to someone there in order to get the keycap you need. (I could not get the "apple key" to come up in the shopping cart)
Good luck.

KeyListener - how to handle series of key pressed

Hi,
Is there a way to handle a series of key pressed in the keyPressed(KeyEvent e) method. for instance, I want to popup a dialogbox when the user pressed: F9, 31, F9 ?

How can I take something I pasted off my screen? It won't come off

I was in my calendar trying to add something to a day and I pasted something and this won't come off my screen. I can not delete this thing. I have restarted the computer,logged out and I can't click on my calendar with this "pasted" thing on my computer screen. What can I do?

This "thing" only pops up when I open the Calendar. So It is not in my Desktop..Then I can't do anything with the calendar with this on the the screen. The only thing I can do is "force Quit" the calendar..I am using the calendar on my Airbook until I figure out what to do with the IMac. I was pasting something on a date in my calendar and that's how this got there. Any other ideas? thank you Dominic for your answer...Randy

How many registration keys come with the new Final Cut Studio

Hi I'm thinking of buying the new final cut studio and am trying to find out how many registration keys come with the box. I have 2 others in the family that would use it on their comps as well, and my friend had gotten the previous version of final cut studio 2 (final cut pro 6) and said it came with 3 keys inside, which would be great for me. So I'm just making sure that's true. Thanks.
Also you can bring final cut pro 6 files from another computer onto a computer with final cut pro 7 and still work on them right?

Hello Gibbs,
Welcome to the forum.
Re: your question.
Your friend is a pathological lier (or delusional - sometimes it's hard to tell the difference).
FCP is licensed for one laptop and one desktop as long as:
1. Both machines are owned by YOU (your inlaws don't count as you)
and
2. They are not used at the same time.
If your family wants FCS, time for them to purchase their own copies. (Apple has dropped the price so low that even Junior High School students can afford their own copies now.)
Yes, FCP6 files will open without issue on FCP7. The reverse is not true.
Have fun.

Welcome to the Apple community.
The iTunes and iCloud accounts are different accounts, check that you are not both using the same iCloud account at settings > iCloud.

Your balance should show to the left of account id at the top of the iTunes store page on your computer's iTunes. You can also check it by clicking on that id, or doing Store > View My Account, which should show your account balance and let you view your payment info

How to replace a key on keyboard

hello
one of the keys popped off my keyboard, the letter "I"
only the key came off, the white bracket thing still attached to the grey thing.
i tried to push down on the key to see if it would snap back on, no luck. i have done some searches on how to fix it, all were not very clear.
i recall speaking to a person a long time ago about this, he said its hard until you know how, then it is easy.
any suggestions=?
right now i am typing with the "I" key just kind of balanced in position.
Thanks,
wayne
