I have a Dell that has started skipping when you start to type a sentence. Youg along and then can be typin all of a sudden it does what you see underlined. It might happen a sentence or two above. I have cleaned and blown out the keyboard with zero results

Well if you know how to do it (And I do)

Pluggin in a wireless KB and Mouse. about 1 minute and not only Amazon but Home Depot, Lowes, Many Pharmacies< Truck stops. Big Logs/Ollies. any computer or office store and so many other places I can not list 'em all.

Just keep some spare batteries on hand or a few full up rechargeable.


There's plenty of videos online that can teach you how to change one.

An external keyboard kind of defeats the laptop portability somewhat...

You can get a wireless keyboard and mouse.. Plug the dongle in and you are good to go. way easier than replacing the laptop's kb. Easier to type on too once you adjust to a full size KB.

๐Ÿ™‚ Hi, if it's wireless like mine, change the batteries. I guess we should have asked you if it's a desk top or a lap top.
