Hi,
I have a Lenovo Thinkpad Edge 14 and one of the keys (the down arrow key) of the keyboard is more or less broken. It remains half-pressed for a few days and since then I need to press it harder to make it work. I've taken the plastic part off and it seems that the rubber part (which is supposed to act as a spring, I guess) is broken (I think this part is called the "rubber foot" of the key).
I've searched on eBay for keyboard replacement parts and I've only found full keyboards (like this) and used replacement parts for Thinkpad keyboard (like this one).
I don't know if the full keyboards on sale include rubber feet and fixin brackets. Anyway, it would probably not be worth the cost/the waste to buy a full keyboard for that. I don't know either if the replacement parts for other model of Thinkpads would do the trick in my Thinkpad Edge 14. Where could I find new, unused replacement parts for my Thinkpad Edge's keyboard ?
I also want to know how to replace the damaged rubber foot with the new one. Am I supposed to apply some glue, or a special treatment under it ? There seem to be circuits behind, and I'm not sure what to do.

Check on eBay with: lenovo edge key
Most single-key sellers also have instructions.
