| 1387924 | 2014-11-10 06:12:00 | I imagine if the key still works but the light doesn't then the light is faulty, not the keyboard. | Agent_24 (57) | ||

No No it wont fix the problem No, keyboards are not designed to be repaired, & you cant get parts to repair keyboards (99% of the time) . You replace the whole keyboard. Or pay someone $300+ to actually pull the KB apart & manually repair it . Thats why its a waste of time & $ trying to repair kb's :thumbs: Try plugging in a USB keyboard & see if that does the same thing. |

Yep, that sums it up :) Theres been the odd time I have gotten pricing for keys for some laptop keyboards, they are hard to come by, and cost an arm and a leg, once I got a quote for replacement keys, each key was just under $15 each :horrified the Whole keyboard was around $60 |

| 1387930 | 2014-11-11 01:54:00 | From the expert comments already given above by 1101 & Wainui it would seem that it is uneconomic to attempt to repair Rocco. I believe you have about three choices. 1. Learn to live with it. 2. Get a Bluetooth or USB keyboard and use that. 3. Replace the machine. Depending on available cash the choice is yours. |
