Lappy Keys

[Wodjno]

Had my present Laptop for around 2 yrs..

It recenly strted to miss letters out whlst i'm typing /yes

It's getting a pain in the are now, as i have to keep going back and putting in the missing letters :inquisiti

Do you think it could be jus getting clogged wth dust n crap nder the keys ? Or are certain keyboads renound for such issues and need replacement ?

Cheers

WODJ :D

PS.. I didn't bthe going back and replace the mising letters in this thread s you could see the isse for yourself /yes

It's probably just your fat fingers that's the problem mate.

Highly likely it simply needs a clean Glen.

Does sound like crap etc under keys

I get the hoover on my desktop keyboard once or twice a month

You could try carefully taking some keys off lappy to see what the state of it underneath looks like be careful not to break and keys and connectors

I did read somewhere that a keyboard can have more germs that a toilet seat has

Probably lots of lovely dead skin !

get an air line and blow it out 8 bar should do (see the keys fly).

[I-S]

I agree that it probably just needs a clean. Try vacuum cleaner or an air duster (or compressed air line), depending on whether you want to try suck or blow.

To the point that some manufacturers are now put coatings with silver particles on the keyboards, as silver apparently has anti-bacterial properties. Also prevents your laptop being used by werewolves.

I had exactly this problem on my laptop. Couldn't get an "L" unless I pushed the key hard. In the end I just hooked up the key slightly with my fingernail and blew hard underneath it. It worked.

if blowing it out doesn't work, you may need to buy a new keyboard, I've seen some keyboards that just die
