    Is it possible to replace single keys? Are they somehow popping out w/o damage?

    Reason:
    I'm thinking about upgrading from NP900X3E to NP900X3G and like to keep my UK keyboard layout - But I'm not willing to pay for an overpriced UK model again.
    A last resort would be changing the whole keyboard unit, but I'm not very keen taking the whole laptops apart. Beside that I'm not sure if the units are 100% compatible.

    This post suggests it can be done (assuming that the Series 9 is similar to the Series 7 in this respect).

    However, I'm not planning to try pulling off a key from my Series 9 unless there is an emergency. It would be best to start by buying a broken keyboard to practice removing the keys.
