    Greetings!
    I have bought my LG LS70 laptop in July 2005, at one of LG-s distributors for our country and I have a lot of problems with my keyboard.

    When I am typing on keyboard and if I hit some particular keys at lower left corner the key will rotate itself to the right for couple of degrees.

    If I don't re-aling the key it will detach itself from the keyboard and I have to re-attach it by hand, which is very irritating, especialy when the key won't attach and a little rubber on top of contact won't stay in the middle.

    My laptop was returned to the service twice because of keyboard and it seems that it has not been fixed. It worked OK for couple of months but the problem reappeared.

    Is there a solution for this problem that I can fix or I'll have to return laptop to the service on more time and hope that it will be fixed (temporary)?

    Check out the pictures and look the key with number zero:

    Wow, that's terrible. I'd definitely send in for a new keyboard.

    Yes! I think that I've solved the problem!

    I spent a couple of hours to figure it out, and I it seems that I solved the problem! :)

    The key is attached to the keyboard with one hook below the contact (like hooks on socket A/370 sockets), and two dents above contact located on small plastic frame.

    I could get key to attach to the hook on the bottom, and one clip to enter into dent on left side of plastic frame, but it seems that clip didn't enter into dent on right side.

    So I have tried to attach the key from many sides (from top, left, right, bottom) but it woudn't attach.

    Before I gave up, I have put the key on top of the contact / rubber and just pushed it towards the screen couple of times when it happened! The key was attached to all sides, and now is holding still!

    Now, I am still testing the key, but I hope that it will stay in place...
