Actually a locksmith should be able to open it in just a few seconds; however I wouldn't have a clue how much they charge. You also might be able to find a spare key on eBay; I think the HP keys were all the same.

One word: Dremel 😀

I really should give a locksmith a shot at it, as for searching eBay that became pretty much pointless as I typed in "HP Keys", "HP Key", and all that showed up were stupid keyboards. I seriously doubt there's anything there that could help me. I haven't a clue whether the keys on all HPs were the same how can I know this?

Expensive? Hardly. A cordless 2-speed dremel I found as low as $10 used from froogle, I saw a new one for $37.

I obsconded with a key from an HP Vectra that was brought into the shop for repair. If you want it, let me know.

Obsconded? Maybe you mean absconded? Anywho, I definitely need an HP Vectra key, so, if you got one I would appreciate it if you could send it to me. As I have not the time or patience to search through Dremel's numerous products or most anyone else's, for that matter. I am not too "tool savvy" as one would say, and am quite the tight-wad, as well.

Yes, perhaps I did. Or perhaps I MADE UP A NEW WORD JUST TO CONFUSE YOU?!!? HAH!?!?

Anyway, PM with your address.

Just one question first, when I send a PM to you that means it goes DIRECTLY to you in some way/form be it to your e-mail or whatever, correct? As you may be aware, I feel unsafe sending my address across the net. So, unless I am positive that when I PM my address it will go SOLELY to you I can't do anything.

Yeah it shows up under that "Messages" link at the top of the screen, but only for whomever you address the private message to.

I gotcha, thanks.
