hey ethic if you and i were both courting lily allen..... oh wait, which one of us has a relationship that lasted more than the bus ride home?
I had to take apart one of our toughbooks (our CF-18) and the "metal" at the tip of the secondary keyboard ribbon flaked off when it was removed. Can i "cut" the tibbon and re-expose metal? Or repair it somehow?

By the way, you didn't try and jam it in with a shim or something, did you?

The only untough thing on these stupid models is the retainer lever and they break constantly. The fix is to slide the cable into place, slide the shim under the table, and then tape it down. The thing had started to scrape a tiny bit when i removed it so i was careful, but it didnt matter. I could get a keyboard, but they are f'n expensive. About 1/3 of what a whole new toughbook would cost....
