LAPTOP PROBLEM I OWN A DELL LAPTOP. LAST NIGHT I DROPPED A GLASS OF WATER ON IT. NOW, THE KEY "A" DOESN'T WORK. DOES THE BEST BUY HAVE THE SERVICE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM? IF YES, CAN I JUST TAKE IT TO A CLOSE-BY STORE?

Only the "a" key? Sounds too good to be true, Yes they do offer a Service to repair this, But really what happens is they send this to the Manufacturer. You can do this yourself as well. I would take it in regardless to have it thoroughly inspected and make sure nothing else is damaged that you havent noticed yet. But With the Assumption that its only the "a" key, They will take the keyboard device out, Insert a New one, and Mail this back. The Number for Dell to see where their closest repair center is 1-800-624-9896, And this number is 24/7

Can you help me fix my Dell Studio 1558 laptop? It doesn't boot?

Dropping a laptop is never good news. Have you tried to Cold-Start the laptop, unplug. remove battery, leave battery out for now, plug in try to start normally. If that fails, Did you remove the HDD and reseat? The damage from the drops may have jarred something loose. Do you get activity, light blinking, from the HDD? The DVD/CD?

Left shift key not working

Hi Marcy,

Check that the key depresses all the way (same amount as other keys next to it). If so, then the most likely problem is that the keyboard has failed. You can have the keyboard replaced fairly easily.

Keyboard for the Dell Vostro 1520 costs $20 or less depending on where you buy. You can view YouTube videos on how to replace the keyboard or have someone professionally replace it for you.

Some key doesn't work

go to dell care,they will change the keyboard.i think now your laptop is not within the warranty period because it is a 2006 model.so you need to pay for your work to dell care.if you want to dispose off then dont do it with dell care for which you dont get any money.its better get it repaired from someone and sell it out.Else there is another way too,buy an external keyboard!

Before you call for severcie you should run about 1/2 a gallon of water through the system to make sure the it is cleaned out and no air bubbles in the system. But if you do that and it still doesn't correct itself, then YES - call for service.

Spilled water on my dell insiron 1525 keyboard now when I hit a key it types two letters

Hi there,

Your keyboard has shorted out with the water damage. It can be easily replaced by buying one on eBay for probably less than $20 and using the Service Guide online at Dell Support I am posting right below.

Colored vertical lines on monitor

Have you unplugged the power cord to the LCD? Let it sit for a minute, then try it. ALWAYS buy a UPS and plug any computer devices into it. Doesn't have to be big, a $50 unit will protect it from dangerous voltage surges.
