    Hi All. As the title suggests.

    Took about 10 min to write the first line.

    Letters not working properly ( P, S , W , Space bar, and a few Numbers) from what I use.

    Now and again they come back working but not for too long

    Any help much Appreciated.

    Thanks to all

    cullieh,
    Sugerman suggestion is probably a good one alight. I would suggest using Surgical Spirit (as its alcohol based) on a cotton bud/swab to clear around the keys.

    Thanks to both for replies.

    Nothing spilled on it, the strange thing is they work every now and again fine

    I reset the whole laptop hoping that would help but no improvement

    It's bizarre that it's only a few keys

    I have cleaned it and no improvement

    Thanks for the advice


    Will just have to put up with it

    :(

    Try an external USB keyboard if you have one just to rule out that it's not anything else.

    If it's really bothering you, you can order a replacement keyboard on eBay for only a few quid and fit yourself. Usually very straight forward and usually plenty of step by step video tutorials on YouTube these days.

    Brill, Thanks Sugarman, it's something that usually would bother me but I use it a lot for work

    The external keyboard sounds like a plan

    Cheers Pal ðŸ‘ðŸ»
