Couperman Posted July 19, 2007 Author Share Posted July 19, 2007 normally in this situation, you will need to buy a new keyboard Its a laptop Fred, so a bigger problem than that, I think it is the link from the keboard to the PC cos the touch pad is a bit dodgi too. I'm not going to investigate ani further. Technician required! Kev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Citricidal, garlic and bokashi work well with the chooks. Have you tried them yet? :lol: How about WD40. It cures anything. Toothache, piles, creaking gates. Maybe it will cure the keyboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couperman Posted July 21, 2007 Author Share Posted July 21, 2007 I have managed to get most of the keys working again apart from number eight! I think until we can get it fixed I might just get a cheap usb keyboard and use that. Presumably that would work? It's a good job that none of my passwords contain the forbidden number! Kev.
