Pavilion Dv6
Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Hi there, I've just purchased a second hand HP Pavilion Dv6 and have discovered the keyboard is incorrectly arranged: F is where G should be, and vice versa. F types G and G types F.  The F clearly has a small ridge, marking as a guide key, but as such is wrongly placed. Is this something I can fix myself? I have seen instructions on how to replace a keyboard, but I am not sure if the individual keys can be swapped around.
