So, this is the story of how I made my life miserable. Simply b/c I have to type 9000 things this semester, I decided to be careless with my computer and drop it. Now luckily I caught it. Not so luckily I broke one of the keys off. I thought maybe it would just go back on. So I enlisted the help of my friends who tried to put it back on. And I then left my computer in the company of one person, while I went to a meeting. When I came back, two keys were off.
Good news, the comparison between the W key I broke and the E key my friend removed revealed that I needed replacement parts. This is good to know, since we could see that a bit of plastic was missing.
Bad news, the E isn't really working properly now, so potentially random intentional removal resulted in damage to the key sensor, not just the plastic.
Yeah I know I am typing here, but it is slow b/c I have to repeatedly hit the E key or backspace to add it. Annoying. Especially while writing long papers, and when I want to type fast not at a snail's pace.
Even worse news, Toshiba doesn't sell the bit of plastic to "end-users" which I guess means me. They only sell the entire keyboard.
