Keyboard Some keys are missing, bought a new one, but how do I change?

Hi,

I you already lost it, you need to purchased a new keyboard since there no particular part no for just one key of the keyboard...Below is the picture of the key that is missing...

Ah, wireless keyboards and mice...
The problem with using most wireless electronics in applications as sensitive as computer use, is that so many things share a close proximity of frequencies. Many wireless routers use 2.4 ghz frequency, as do many cordless phones. Interruptions in wireless products are, unfortunately, a part of the deal as of yet. This 'could' be making it miss a key.
Keyboards are also notorious for allowing a very low number of buttons to be active at one time. It may be that your typing speed and style has you accidentally pushing more buttons than the keyboard allows periodically.
It could be a defect, a not perfect connection on the 'board' of the keyboard that doesn't line up perfectly every time a key is pressed. Only expect this if the same key(s) repeatedly miss.
Lastly, it could be that you're just not used to the tension and feel of the keyboard yet. I know it took me awhile to get used to my laptop keyboard when I first bought it, after using the same desktop keyboard for near 5 years!
Hope my answer was inclusive and conclusive enough. Happy Holidays!

You can get a replacement key from ebay for around 5 dollars. Or you can also pilfer keys from a broken keyboard.

Not all Acer keyboards are the same so make sure you find the right one for your system before ordering.

Hello

I would suggest that you just try to find the spesifick letter you need, a new keyboard for that device will cost you a new laptop. Go to any computer hardware store near you, they usually have odd parts that they give away, maybe you are lucky. Otherwise just contact the manufacturer and order the letter you need. Hope this can help you.

Best regards

Tried deselecting dell dock application from startup menu and works better.
Start msconfig startup untick Dell Dock ok restart

try this steps...

Check this --
Start> Control Panel> "...Language...Options">
Regional and Language Options>
Advanced tab,
Change language to "English (United States)"

Could it be the "sticky keys" option is switched on? When you hit the E key does an explorer window open?
Tap the shift key 5 times and have a look. If sticky keys comes up as turned on, turn it off.

or

Could be a stuck key. Try another keyboard.

Hi,


Unfortunately, yes....You cannot purchase a new KEY.

If you have an old keyboard, or you can go to any of the local shops, they might have wasted keyboard.....And you can ask for a single key.

Use the below procedure to attach the key to our keyboard.

Thanks.

You will have to cahnge out the keyboard in order to do this. The keyboard will most likely work fine, but it's also possible that you may have to do a bios flash in order for the machine to recognize the new keyboard.

I had the same problem when i bought my new laptop, I turned it off and forced them back in they are quite hard to get back in. If its an old qwerty keyboard, then it needs replacing, the letters will never type what they should ever again.
