I wonder if it is possible to replace a laptop keyboard? My Sony model NV-100 I purchased in 2002 and more than likely has rubber domed keys has keys which no longer work, such as the "A" key and while I use a USB external keyboard at present, it is a pain to tote along on the road. Most (shops) say throw the laptop in the garbage, but I happen to like and still use it.

Every laptop I've taken apart was relatively easy to replace the keyboard. Sourcing a replacement part is probably harder. It's usually a separate part and connected to the motherboard through a connector. I doubt youll find mechanical replacement though.

I know mechanical is out of the question, and nothing short of an exact match would work, but finding one supplier of such type of keyboards I have not managed to locate, but will keep on searching.
 
I've replaced numerous in dell laptops from stuff that people have spilled, etc. You will just have to find a keyboard for that model. May want to watch eBay.
 
perfect, exactly what i needed! Thank you Janus!! That one bamboo keyboard looks sick tho. please tell me it comes with cherry mx brown switches.....
