The other day my one-year-old niece somehow took out four pieces of my laptop keyboard, the ones on the bottom-left corner. I managed to put the alt and start keys back in, but the plastic thing holding the ctrl and fn ones is broken.
What should I do? Can it be repaired at all? Do it take it to a shop and have it repaired or buy the parts and do it myself?
Thanks
ps: it's still a mistery to me how she did it, I was lying on the sofa while she was sleeping beside me. I got and left my laptop on a nearby table, when I got back she had opened the laptop and taken the keys out. |

What brand and model is it? The keyboard is normally user-replaceable and relatively affordable. Many manufacturers will sell spare parts to individuals (although they don't advertise that service). |

Maybe with her teeth? One-year-olds put everything in their mouths. I'm glad she didn't swallow them. |

HP are wonderfully straightforward to deal with... in Switzerland anyway.
Start here and scroll down a bit to get the correct part number. Then try PartSurfer (link is on that page), or if that's broken again, just send them an e-mail or google the part number for alternate sources.
How to replace it: Clicky |

Quite a bright little girl. At least she did not douse the keyboard with the contents of her sippy cup.
Good luck with getting the replacement parts. |

Forget about it then. You need a complete keyboard replacement. Fortunately they are very affordable compared to those a few years ago.
You also got an alternative to hook up an USB keyboard which is even cheaper |

I had a similar situation on my Toshiba Equium and bought a new keypad from eBay for a tenner.
Took me all of three minutes to replace it! |

Seconded. Keyboards are pretty straightforward. Ebay is a good source, I've had them from there before and they aren't expensive. the ribbon cable connectors can be fiddly but persist and you'll be fine.
Also dismantle over a white towel to stop the tiny screws rolling off the table.
Reminds me of a nice kb I had that my stepson pulled some keys off. They all went back except the G. At the time I was doing a lot of coding for miling machines which used Fanuc G-code. there's a reason it's called that. |

mr bo says you'll need teeny tiny screwdrivers (very technical!), but otherwise it's very easy on most laptops. |
