Faulty key

we are many · 05-15-2009, 06:21 PM

The letter 'T' isn't working properly on my acer aspire 7730 laptop. I have to press it pretty hard for it to work. I have tried to take the cover off the key to see what the problem is, but i couldn't get it off. Some help and advice would be greatly appreciated. Ideally i would like to fix it myself (with some help from you guys, instead of sending it off to acer (for days, or even weeks) to get fixed under warranty.

I hate to say this but it would be much better if you just replace the keyboard. Try eBay.

Forgive my ignorance, but how can i replace the keyboard when it is a laptop? The keyboard is built in.

Some advice on how to take the cover off the key would be really helpful. They don't seem to be like keys on other laptops where you just press them down hard and they pop off.
