Hmm... I took the screws out of the back of the keyboard but it still didn't seem to want to come apart - it seemed that the metal plate "between the keys" on the front side is somehow permanently attached to the keyboard PCB, and would be in the way of replacing a key switch if I were to desolder it.

What's the method to replace a key switch? Do you happen to have a spare switch and a "4" key cap (the end of the key switch stem is broken off inside of the key cap, and I can't remove it)?

Each key has two leads that are soldered to the keyboard PCB. Desolder
the key then turn the keyboard over. Use a pair of needlenose pliers to
squeese together the white "clip" each side of the keyswitch and just
pull the keyswitch out.

What color are the letters on the keyboard and does it have a numeric keypad?
