[ubuntu-uk] OT: Laptop keyboard supplier

[Rob Beard]

Hi folks,

Last week my laptop keyboard had a rather unfortunate incident with a 
McDonalds toy which broke the H key on the laptop (it physically snapped 
off).  Anyway, my laptop being an Acer Aspire 2920 is not a common 
machine so I was panicing that I wouldn't be able to get a replacement 
keyboard cheaply.

However, after a bit of searching I found this place on eBay:

The keyboard itself was 20 quid including free delivery, I ordered it on 
the Friday last week and received it on the following Monday.

I just wanted to share my experiences, it's not entirely Ubuntu related, 
but as it occasionally comes up about suppliers of laptop bits 
(batteries etc), I figured I'd share the info with everyone.  They don't 
just do keyboards, they appear to do a variety of laptop bits for 
various makes and models, so like me you find that a McDonalds toy is 
introduced to your keyboard with force, then they could be well worth 
looking at.

Ta,

Rob (with a new H key) :-)
