Dell Laptop Keyboard - No "S" Key ?

mrm44 · 08-20-2007, 05:59 AM

So all of a sudden the "S" key doesn't work. Everything else works fine. The key depresses, but nothing. Any ideas or is it simply a broken laptop keyboard.

I would try to remove the key and put it back on. You can remove it by pulling the key up at an angle until it snaps off. Then, push the button while its off and see if it works. To put it back on, you should simply position the key and then push down right in the middle of the key.
