Really need to get a new keyboard for my laptop -- it's fucked.

I've checked eBay and this is the cheapest I can find:

Can you see anything wrong with buying it from HK? Will it be official?

Any idea where to buy it in the UK?

That one is US layout (which will work anyway), as long as you find a UK one it doesn't matter where it comes from.

Get the part number from the back to be 100%.

If it's still in warranty phone dell and get a new one.

Or stop following me about like you fancy me when i'm giving him decent information.

If it's under warranty they'll send him out a new keyboard even if its for keys missing.

Check the connector into the keyboard before you buy a new one. They're notorious for coming loose and stopping a cluster of keys from working. On my old one, the 3, E, D, and C key's didn't work. Opened that son of a bitch up and re-seated all of the connections in the keyboard. Job's a good'un.
