Not uncommon.

1347716 2013-07-03 11:58:00 I could replace it but $160 for a kb. Dont think so :p I pulled the kb out earlier. It was easier than I thought, and gave it a clean. But nope, the home keys still work when and if they feel like working :lol: There are cheap kb replacements overseas (ie: Ebay). Too bad I've got no way of getting one Speedy Gonzales (78)
1347717 2013-07-03 21:54:00 $160? Don't be silly, where are you getting that price from? wratterus (105)

Empr an authorised HP place that sells spare parts. Seems to be the only place in NZ besides trademe

1347719 2013-07-03 22:52:00 I have got a keyboard from gigacomputers.co.nz, previously, at a good price, but they seem to have folded. Darn.

How about ebay?

Be alright if I had some way of paying for it but I dont

1347721 2013-07-03 23:27:00 That's really dear, even for EMPR. You'd probably find one on trademe? wratterus (105)
1347722 2013-07-03 23:31:00 Just did a check on Trademe, nothing. May see if the sis in oz can get this (www.ebay.com.au) on Ebay. I think she's on it

A lot cheaper than Empr

1347723 2013-07-06 09:32:00 tried disconnecting the battery and power, pressing the power button a few times and leaving it for a few minutes? 8ftmetalhaed (14526)
1347724 2013-07-06 09:37:00 I managed to get the sis in oz to get the one on Ebay above. Hopefully it works. I tried removing the battery using power, removing the power using the battery. Turning it off for a few mins, then turning it back on.

The keys do work but not straight away (once you get into Windows). I think its a fault or a loose wire or something. Since if I press the keys harder or a certain way, they work
