    I just pictured 30 Chinese each with a big bottle of Gorilla glue putting keyboards together.

    New thread???

    What!!! You think fixing your own computer is not a true display of Self Reliance?

    Seems like the best one around in this day and age. You are fixing your keyboard so you can read books about self reliance, how much more self reliant can you get?

    My repair was easier than shown in the video.

    I just had to take out the battery and pop out the keyboard like a Lego block, disconnect the electronic coupling and plug in the new one, snap the keyboard back in.

    Took about 3 minutes and no gorilla glue was involved.

    That, sir, is just outstanding. Truly. Just outstanding!!

    And why is it that Gorilla glue never expands when you want it too but does every time your back is turned?

    Yeah, was kinda dicey getting it wet so the glue would work.....LOL.....

    Looks bad but machine still works.....used the gorilla glue, because the super glue and duck tape wouldn't hold....was a part fell out...looks like part of the hinge.

    Last time I had it to the Geek Squad....they listed the condition as..."Operational, but poor shape"

    Maybe list it under "There, I fixed it"?
