At around the turning point I guess, where PS/2 and serial mice were “done” and scroll wheels and/or middle buttons actually had a point, I found a place selling the dome switches dirt cheap and I’ve got a small bag of them somewhere I never actually had to use, due to moving on to optical/scroll mice. By that time also, the scroll wheel, now somewhat essential, has gone nasty sticky or otherwise cranky, which much scrubbing with alcohol or anything doesn’t seem to resolve so they get retired for that too. However, while more recent mice do last longer, I find after a couple or three years they get furred up contacts or something and double click on you randomly. However, I found them fairly easy to replace whole, desolder and resolder, never thought of trying to rebuild in situ. I would buy 3 button mice for the “spare” switch because very little actually supported them until into the 2000s. Yah, those switches only used to last like 6 months on the left button for me. Posted in laptops hacks Tagged keyboard, laptop, laptop repair Post navigation We’ve seen other useful work from before – like this power jack repair way back in 2011. It’s a simple hack, but one that goes to show one shouldn’t always take “ No User Servicable Parts Inside” as an answer. A replacement part can then be sourced, and the remaining rivet stubs can be remelted to hold the new part in place. However, if properly armed with a soldering iron, these plastic rivets can be melted to allow the backing plate and keyboard to be removed. The keyboard is riveted into the top plate assembly, along with the trackpad, which would normally necessitate their replacement as a total unit. The hack begins with removing the top case assembly from a HP Pavilion laptop. It’s not always the case however, as this ingenious hack from bears out. Assuming you’ve just suffered the latter, you can still be out of luck, as many laptops come with fancy integrated keyboards that are not designed to be removable. If you’re lucky you’ll ruin just a keyboard, and if not, your entire machine could go up in smoke. Typically, the processes is used for joining plastic or sheet metal.Spilling a drink on a laptop is a terrifying experience. They are used to make high strength joints in a range of materials, including metals, plastics, wood and leather. Once gripped, the mandrel snaps, permanently holding the rivet in place. A pop rivet gun is placed on the rivet, pulling the mandrel into the rivet body, causing it to expand and grip the parts to be joined. A pop rivet is then inserted through the drilled hole and the rivet body is brought into contact with the parts. In situations where access to both sides of a component is limited, a hole is first drilled through the parts to be joined. The first part is called the rivet body (also known as the shell or hat) and the second part is called the mandrel (also known as the stem).

Pop rivets, also known as blind rivets, are a type of rivet.
