The key *or the letter a* ter "e" is not working on my keyboard

[lunamagica]

Can this be *ixed?

1. Keyboards are not very expensive.

Get a new one.

2. Go to a yard sale this weekend.

Pick one up for ten bucks or less.

3. Here is a work around until you get a new keyboard

Hold the Alt key down and on your keypad type the numbers shown below...after the last digit release the alt key....voila! (note that the numbers MUST be typed on the keypad, not the number row above the keyboard letters).

F (alt 070)
f (alt 102)

8. It worked! Thanks!

[SamKnause]

4. Did you spill something on it ???

I did, and I couldn't fix it.

I had to buy a new keyboard.

I have a Dell All-In-One, and the new keyboard cost $49.00.

Because it is wireless it came with a new mouse and chip.

Good luck.

I hope you can fix yours.

9. Not that I remember...It is a backlit keyboard, which I need

I hope I can restore it. Thanks

28. Put a powerful vacuun nozzle on it. Might dislodge a bit of fluff. Also some keys pop off and on. nt

5. I'm having the same problem with the letter "f".

It only shows when I tap the square in the lower left-hand corner. I have to tap it lightly to not get"ff".

[lunamagica]

10. That didn't work

But thanks anyway

[PoliticAverse]

6. Step one, hold the keboard upside down and shake it vigorously. n/t

[lunamagica]

11. That didn't work. But thanks anyway

[PoliticAverse]

17. Always remember that in a keyboard malfunction emergency you can bring up an "onscreen keyboard"

using your mouse.

[lunamagica]

20. I didn't know that. thank you!

[applegrove]

7. alt some number will give you the letter. Or you could pull off the button and make sure the plastic

'nipple' is upright.

[Foolacious]

14. Yeah, I would pop the keytop off.

Might be a crumb or something jammed underneath.

[Midnightwalk]

12. I have to ask

Were you hitting the f key extra hard lately and why?

Glad to see someone gave you the alt trick and that it worked for you.

[lunamagica]

15. No. Actually, I use it a lot, and it is in most of my passwords

I have no idea what happened

[lunamagica]

13. I pulled the key out, but that didn't help. But the conbination did

Thanks!

16. Possibly, but probably not worth the time unless you have...

one of those expensive super gamer switch keyboards.

A new Logitech wireless keyboard usually with a mouse, can be found on sale at places like Staples for 20 bucks or so, sometimes less. Keyboards are fairly standard, so you don't need the "recommended" one.

An often unmentioned advantage of a new one is the lack of dried coffee, cat hair, and breadcrumbs stuck under the keys .

On edit-- I now see you have a backlit one, and that changes things. I might still get the cheap backup keyboard, but it may be worth your while to take it apart and see of you can fix it.

[lunamagica]

21. I'll have to ge a new one. I just can't right now. Thanks or the reply

[safeinOhio]

18. Turn everything off.

Then turn it on again. Only computer fix I know.

[lunamagica]

22. Tried, but it didn't work. Thanks

[Ptah]

19. Windows has an On-Screen Keyboard

[lunamagica]

23. I had no idea until today. Thanks!

[eppur_se_muova]

24. Looks like you're *ucked.

I have the same problem with the letter between o and q -- I've had to start typing ROTUS, and leaving it for others to interpret. No complaints so far.

25. Logitech K120, your welcome

$20 keyboard, I bought 6 of them for $12 a piece several years ago, all 6 still working.

Keyboards are disposable, treat yourself right, new one every once in a while.

My favorite is my water proof Logitech, but it's time too is about up.

If you were a neighbor, I'd hand you a spare one.

Forgot, I am typing this on a K120 attached to our old laptop, whose keyboard is unusable, keystrokes not registering or repeated keys, was end of it.

[lunamagica]

29. Great deal, Thanks!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

26. You mean like *uck-*aced *ascist? He is such a stupid bunt

30. A very underrated sketch

27. So what you're saying

is you don't have any more fucks to give.
