    I recently purchased a laptop from a friend. A Dell Inspiron 1150. The laptop works great but is missing the ? key. I have talked to Dell and they want to sell me a replacement keyboard which I would have to install. All I need is the one key to pop back on. Does anyone know where I can get this at? Email me at [email protected].

    Thanks

    its sometimes hard to install a key because there are 2 plastic spring like things under it. you could probably ebay a whole keyboard for 10 bucks and it would be easier.

    couldn't you just buy the new keyboard, then pull off the ? key from it and install it?
