yeah it was actually straight forward to do. although I had used superglue

to stick a bit back on which made it tricky getting the old keyboard off. this machine has lasted nearly 4 years now. (i don't want to start a mac v pc war!) but my partner has been through 3 pc laptops in that time costing the equivalent in money but more in waste/pollution etc. please don't take this a dig at pc's... they need all the support they can get
