 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

Looks like a keyboard error.... like when I pulled all the keys off to clean them... when I clicked each back in, I mucked up 3 of them with their return plastics. Had to press them hard to get them to respond.... fixed by pulling out and reinstalling them. Test if they are not coming in in a particular window, or if you press abnormally hard or rock the key and it works. If so it's mechanical.... if not, your in a strange problem area..... I expect mechanical more than software.... in which case I want a replacement. ...........oztules Village idiot...or... just another hack out of his depth |

I have a friends Dell laptop with several keys not working. When I pluged in a USB PC keyboard, all the keys work. A replacement keyboard for the laptop was worth about $80, but instead she opted to use the laptop as a PC, with an external keyboard and larger monitor.

looks like what happens here when i get to far away with the cordless keyboard. So the missing letters make perfect reading to me 
Its enough to drive you to drink at times and then even more letters go missing, but it dont matter as you cant read it anyways by then. Hmmm sounds like you got a lemon 
Pete. Sometimes it just works |

Hi Crew,, Just got a call from Dell,,, they said that "skype" is causing all the problems.. They did delete,or, I did, something and it now seems to have fixed the typing problem... It allways pays to tell these guys you are 87 ,,helps heaps.... Bruce Bushboy |

brucedownunder2 Glad to hear it's fixed. I was about to say that I read an email from someone and almost every word in the thing was misspelled (boy, look at all the double letters in that word!) on purpose to show how the human mind would still make sense out of it. That email, I now realize, likely originated from Dell.  Nothing difficult is ever easy! Perhaps better stated in the words of Morgan Freeman, "Where there is no struggle, there is no progress!"
