| 711569 | 2008-10-11 20:38:00 | Dear all, After having my laptop serviced for the graphics card defect, I find that some of the keys on my keyboard do not work as expected. For instance, I need to press "Ctrl + Tab + Tab" instead of "Ctrl + Tab" in order to switch between web pages on Firefox, and "Ctrl + Backspace + Backspace" instead of "Ctrl + Backspace" in order to clear one word at a time. On top of that, sometimes the "Z" and "R" keys do not work properly. However, shortcut keys like "Ctrl + Z" and "Ctrl + X" work fine. I just want to check that this is not a Windows problem before I send off again (sigh) to fix this minor hiccup. Cheers :) |

Its good to confirm that its not the software that's causing the problem before sending the hardware off (again) for repair. |

Its actually quite a good suggestion, means you dont have to mess around with things like windows regional settings, keyboard layouts etc. If you boot a LiveCD and theres still an issue, then as said, it can be sent back immediately! |

| 711575 | 2008-11-05 23:47:00 | Just a quick update: I've just got it checked by the ASUS support centre. It turns out that the keyboard was at fault, and now it has been replaced by a new keyboard set. Cheers :) |
