RastaRicanAir 0 #1 September 8, 2006 Not only does my Windows put on a beautiful and unexplained blue screen crash show at least once a day, but I'm down to a 25 letter alphabet. I heard a pop as I was opening the laptop, and now the letter after Y won't work. It's stuck in the up position, like there's something under it. Do I actually have to pay to fix this, or is there something I can do? It's these little things combined that lead to restaurant massacres...

Zenister 0 #3 September 8, 2006 laptops are generally NOT user repairable.. opening them violates most warranties. i'd say you are hosed.. what were you going to do anyway? did you have parts to R&R with? ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

LisaM 0 #4 September 8, 2006 *disclaimer: don't break it it's not my fault* try popping the key off GENTLY! I took my laptop keys off to rearrange them for dvorak a while back woth no big deal. Just put your fingernail under one of the corners. BE GENTLE! ~ Lisa ~ Do you Rigminder? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NickDG 23 #5 September 8, 2006 Or buy a ten dollar keyboad and plug it in to the USB port on the laptop - like I did after I spilled a Coke on it the first week I owned it . . . Beer would have been better! NickD BASE 194 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RastaRicanAir 0 #6 September 8, 2006 Fortunately, I already have a second keyboard I can use until I return this shiny new piece of crap to the lemon orchard it came from on Monday. Did I mention DO NOT BUY AN INSPIRON 9400? Because that should be the real goal of this thread.OrFunV/LocoBoca Rodriguez/Sonic Grieco/Muff Brother #4411 -"and ladies....messin with Robbie is venturing into territory you cant even imagine!-cuz Robbie is Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelpdiver 2 #7 September 8, 2006 a key gets stuck and you condemn the whole line? bit of a stretch, esp when crumbs cause most keyboard problems. Blowing air may resolve. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
