[nabs-l] The technology in specialized notetakers

[Joseph C. Lininger]

Anna,
The first bit of good news is  that the plastic piece that came off is 
almost certainly not the part that actually makes the key work; it's 
probably just the part your finger presses. That part, in turn, presses 
on something underneath it, which actually interacts with the circuitry 
of the device. The point is, provided they didn't build it some weird 
funky way, all you have to do is get a replacement part, which will 
probably just snap right into place on the device. More good news is 
that you're virtually guaranteed that the part won't cost all that much 
money, if they even charge you at all since it's just a piece of 
plastic. The  bad news is that you're probably going to have to go 
through HIMS to get it. These things are fit specifically to the device 
they're built for, so you can't just go pick one up some place.
