Hi,
If the problem is intermittent then the problem could just be foreign objects like crumbs and hair that's trapped under the keys.

Turn the laptop off and stand it on it's side with the lid open. Get a soft, dry paintbrush and brush the keys, gently tap the keyboard in various places with the back of the paintbrush to help dislodge anything that's trapped.

Once your satisfied all the keys are clear turn the laptop on and see if it has made any difference.

If it has not then you may need to replace the keyboard.

Good luck.

Compaq cq60 keys not working

The keyboard maybe faulty.
Connect an external keyboard to youe laptop and if all the key work on this keyboard then most like the laptop keyboard is faulty.
If this external keyboard also malfunctions then the keyboard controller chip on the laptop motherboard is faulty and it would not be worth repairing as this is an old model laptop.

If you have Word 2007 on your computer, the insert key is controlled in Word. While in Word, left click on the big circle but at the top far left of the menu (next to "home"). A menu box will open. At the bottom of the box is "Word Options", click on that button. In the far left column you will see "Advance", click on that and to the right will be a selection menu. Check the boxes "Use the insert key" and "Use overtype mode". This should work.
