David..
that keyboard is the shame of IBM..
period..
they tried, but failed, to produce a unique design, then used a bad key design,
subject to quick wear..
your only option is to get a new keyboard, under warranty, if there is still
warranty on that machine, otherwise, just buy a new keyboard and swap the old one
out..
then use it as a dart board.. :-)
they cost about $50 from IBM's boulder parts at 800-388-7080..
check the online hardware manuals and parts listings for the correct FRU number..
