Broken Shift Key
The left shift key has come loose because of the breakage of a small plastic pin holding the key. Does anyone know where I might find a replacement key or even keyboard? Thanks

I unfortuantely have had the lettering of a few keys on the laptop fade out which it shouldnt after 4 months and dell sent me a new keyboard sleeve to insert onto the laptop. I only recommend that if you are not handy to actually ship it back to dell for them to do the transplant. It is simple , however if you are not caqreful you can crack the protected joints that mesh the folding screen to the base.

Just follow the directions here:
I used the cap of a bic pen as a "plastic scribe" to pry the hinge cover off. It worked very well. I took the opportunity to clean the inside thoroughly with a lot of compressed air while I had it open.
