Hi Folks,


One of the XO-1.5s in my "Roadshow" collection was returned with a ripped key. The person who was responsible has offered to pay for a repair.  It was a fairly new machine. I can think of three options:


1) Fix it with silicone tub an tile sealer as described in the article I wrote several years ago:

2) Find a replacement keyboard (where?) and install it. iLoveMy XO is only selling complete tops @$40


3) Same as #2, but find a green (if possible) HS keyboard (where?)  and install it.  This would be my favorite option if there is any way to get oneā€¦ green or blue would do.


Any suggestions?


Thanks!
Caryl
P.S. Option #1 actually works surprisingly well and lasts a long time. No problems yet with the ones I did about 3 summers ago.
