My keypad is starting to wear out and it's driving me crazy!

[RevolutionaryActs]

I have hit the "P" and "L" keys so hard when I type something. Arg.


I guess that's what I get for typing "Pill poppin' lollipops" so much. *sigh*

1. My dear Rev_Acts!

Perhaps you need a new keypad!

Just sayin'.........

[RevolutionaryActs]

2. I have a laptop, so that means I need a whole new computer.

Right?

[Floogeldy]

3. You just need to get your keyboard cleaned.

No pun intended.

Seriously, it has dust, hair, etc under the keys. Take it to a pro. It shouldn't cost too much.

[RevolutionaryActs]

4. Or, I could just get a new computer... I like that idea better.

5. Hold it upside down and blow some canned air into it.

6. Welcome to DU!!

14. Thanks!

It's good to be here.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. I hadn't realized you had a laptop!

I don't know......some folks here think you don't need a new computer!

But if you want one....go for it!

[RevolutionaryActs]

9. Mostly I just want a new one.

Actually my laptop has been acting a little buggy lately anyway.

7. Could you just plug in a new keyboard, I do that with my laptop.

I don't like the keyboard on my laptop.

[RevolutionaryActs]

10. That's not a bad idea.

Although like I said to Peggy my laptop has been acting weird lately, so I think it's time to retire it.

12. I have a new laptop, so much better then my old one.

Happy new lap top.

13. A computer is not like a VCR or toaster.

Most problems are not related to the hardware. Re-installing your OS would probably get you back to where you started from.

11. David Jones knows exactly how you feel.

He has a hard time finding the ampersand sign.

He tells me, "If Pat Sajack let's you get the damn thing for free on Wheel of Fortune, you think it would be as easy as finding an elephant's ass on your keyboard!"

15. My right-clicker on my mouse doesn't work.

It's really effing up things, so I sympathize.

[breakaleg]

16. mine is also dying...

buttons flying off, the power supply is broken, the battery is dead. Oh and my router is on the fritze as well so I have to actually plug into the internet by cable.

it's getting ugly.
