    I took one of my arrow keys out to clean it. Bad move :(

    How on earth do I slot this back in? I need easy steps I think.

    Thanks,
    Matt :)

    I can't describe how to do it. You will have to keep experimenting until it fits correctly. It's a bit like learning to ride a bike. :D

    Or you could carefully pull off another key to try to see how it fits on.

    I managed to do it.. after about 15mins of fiddling :D

    You are right there is no real way to describe it. Was tough I cracked one of the small parts but putting it back in place and it works as it should. I just won't take them out again!

    I know this warrants a separate topic however... where do I go if I want to upgrade my battery. I need better battery life. Just over a hour isn't good in lectures. If you can point me to something I would be most grateful.

    Thank you :)

    The answer is in the R20 thread and points to here. This is an 8 cell battery and will stick out further at the back.

    Google for the part number AA-PL0NC8B/E (or AA-PL0NC8B - I don't know the difference) and you will find other places. The genuine Samsung battery is expensive.
