Re: Keyboard wearing badly?
 

9 of my keys are barely readable now. does anybody know if a new key board is easy to fit? seen some for 3 quid on ebay.

Mine is already 1 year and 2 months old and still no wearouts. But a month ago concerned of it wearing out this popped out of my head.

And after a day of miticulous work on my device & waiting. Seems fine and safe now :p

Re: Keyboard wearing badly?
 

Mine is starting to show the first hints of wear now, but overall it still looks pretty good.

Re: Keyboard wearing badly?
 

The keyboard wearing depends on the hardware revision. After extreme usage for over a year, my keyboard is like new (rev 2204).

Re: Keyboard wearing badly?
 

Mine is a rev 2204 as well. But less than 2 months after getting it the shift key has started to peel, now there is an approx 1mm diameter hole. And this is with, I would say, moderate use.

Re: Keyboard wearing badly?
 

Mine was also 2204 and so far after 1 year also of usage still no signs of wear out.

Hey all,

I have been looking for QWERTY keyboard replacements and I found this:
http://www.dinodirect.com/nokia-n900...=GBP#mycarttip

Currently only $4.99 / £3.33 with free shipping, apparently! :eek:

Has anyone used this site? Are they reputable?

For $5 I think I might try it...


These videos look to be useful too :)

Yes, I bought two of these replacement keyboards from them. I've had it for about 6 months now and I haven't had any numbers or letters flake off.

My only criticisms are:

- the blue characters are painted on, not translucent, so you cant see numbers, etc, in the dark (white characters are translucent).

- The characters are bigger and not as elegant looking as the stock keyboard's (not a biggie and a matter of taste, admittedly).

- I bought two in case one was messed up defective and cuz they were cheap. Of course, one had a backwards "D" on it. You get what you pay for with bootlegs.

Worth buying if you need to replace the keyboard IMO, but I really wouldn't mind paying extra for a stock keyboard if I could find one.
