keys popped off

#1 Post by andypenguin » Thu Feb 17, 2005 5:29 am

the right arrow key popped off my t42 -- how the heck do you put this thing back in?

Recommend you call IBM Service and get a new keyboard. Specify the preferred Thai keyboard.(08K5044).

I think you'll be happier with a new kb rather than trying to snap the key back on. Not exactly the easiest thing to do.

As weird as it is, i accidentally popped my arrow key also off, once, it was extremely easy to repair, just put it on straight and press, worked nice for me :)

Reason I didn't want to is that this IS a new Thai keyboard -- but I managed to get it back on after 10 minutes of frustration. :?

Hi,

How can I tell if I have a Thai or China keyboard? Are there any special markings?

Cheers and best regards,
Ranjit
