1191600 2011-04-03 05:22:00 My sister in law has a Compaq Laptop that has a stuck 'up' key. We have tried removing the key and cleaning out the contacts etc, but it still persists in giving an 'up' command seemingly non-stop, rendering the laptop almost useless.

My thoughts were that we could attach a USB keyboard, but to do this I'm assuming that we'd need to disable the laptop keyboard first? If so, how do you do this?

Just plugged my el cheapo USB Logictech keyboard into my hp 12" nc4200 notebook.
Both keyboards operate perfectly in parallel - even the up arrow. :o
I'm sure you could disable the notebook keyboard in device manager.
