I heard its not that hard to do.

Go to a service center and replace it. Somehow I poured on my laptop a cup of tea. It took about 5 minutes to a service guy to replace it with a new one.

I had a problem with my laptop's keyboard last week. I solved it by taking a vacuum cleaner over it.

Just be careful that you don't suck any of the keys in (I had one come off and caught it just before it entered the hose).

the thing is, this thing is 9almost brand new. its been closed for 6 months

i rarely used it, we bought it for the trip - so it doesnt seem even remotely possible for it to be dirt.

You really should try my suggestion. I was getting ready to take mine in when I tried the vacuum. Took about 60 seconds.

Amazing the stuff that can fall down under the keys.

**Fletch XXX** · 09-05-2007, 03:14 PM

9ok, going to try right now

I've changed the keyboard on my dell laptop. Took about 10 minutes

**Fletch XXX** · 09-05-2007, 03:36 PM

**Fletch XXX** · 09-05-2007, 03:38 PM

9 isnt working (typed on ext key)

**Fletch XXX** · 09-05-2007, 03:39 PM

i will order new keypad and change it out i guess.

**Peaches** · 09-05-2007, 04:20 PM

I did it two years ago. Seriously, if it's something *I* can do, it's pathetically simple. Took about 10 minutes.

**Sosa** · 09-05-2007, 04:33 PM

if you swap one out, be carefult removing it as they are usually held on my little plastic clips. Just google your model and keyboard replacement and you will prolly find out all the info you need.

yeah from what i read before starting this thread, i'm not too worried about the actual replacement of it, just wondering if these symptoms go with bad keyboard diagnosis.

this was my first laptop, so i dont have experience with them going out to know if this is whats happening or if it was dust or something...
