Laptop Keyboard

[flibbage0]

Well my laptop keyboard is playing up.

Whenever I press "u" it selects "u7"

I have no idea why this is happening and it is only a few months old, can't return it to the store because they have shut down.

Should I lift up the key to have a look?

Careful, there might be something scary underneath!

Is there any of the manufacturer's warranty left to be broken?

Return it to the manufacturer.

Well there is a 2 year Asus warranty. Lifting the key won't void the warranty.
It's more of the case of damaging the key.

Return it to the manufacturer.

I would love to do this however I'm going back to uni soon and need the laptop

Has anyone had any experience with Asus and their customer service?

It's possible they'd class the breakage of said key as user damage so may not provide a warranty replacement for the issue if it doesn't fix it and does end up needing replacement.

Try calling Asus, apparently their laptop support is pretty good.

Right, I'm leaving the keys alone then.

Thanks for the help.

May be you have a nub of a finger attached to your index finger on your right hand? check this first.

see how much it would cost to buy a new keyboard for your laptop they are dead easy to replace basicly.

theres usually a bezel strip just above the keyboard that pops off and 4 screws underneath hold the keyboard inplace.

the keyboard pulls off and is connected by a wide flat cable

Have a good blow under the keys in case something is stuck.

Can't seem to find a keyboard for my laptop, only place I found a replacement part was on a European website, about £40.

Just found this video

I'm pretty sure if I did the above it will indefinitely void the warranty.

You could carefully use a vacuum cleaner's nozzle to try and pick anything up.
