This moning I can’t use a cetain lette, and by now I imagine you know which one it is lol. I tried cleaning the key. Does anybody know how to fix this problem of mine, besides taking it to a compute stoe, and paying to get it fixed?
If My comments look stange, then, this is the eason lol. I used to have an E typing problem. eveytime I would use the lette E it would look like this EEEEEE, so this made typing challenging. If you know how to help this comment, leave it in the comment secion. I appeciate it a lot. I have to put laptop fo one of my takes, because, it will not spell computee ight lol.

I have an additional mouse on my laptop. And as I write to Google, my translator comes up with an additional keyboard. When I have a problem buying a new mouse, I solve the problem.
Thank you lacho9 for you thoughts about my rrr situation.
Ok so here are the tech guy questions.
1. has anything been spilled on the keyboard? In particular, anything that would dry sticky?
2. What type of laptop keyboard is it? (chicklet – which is exactly as it sounds like a chicklet) or regular?
The key r would be my guess, isn’t actually what activates the “letter.” there is a small electronic circuit below the key that when clicked is what activates the letter on the screen (oh and CPU and software). One thing you can try is to press the key and hold it down. That may break the disconnection that has happened.
Good luck!
Thank you Doc Anderson! Yes, holding the rrrrrrrr key down helps, but so far I must do it each time I try to use it lol.
The other option is to try and blow whatever is causing the issue out. Get a can of compressed air or use a vacuum to clean the keyboard.
Thank you Doc Anderson, I will try this.
Sadly if that doesn’t work (cleaning) you are stuck with either replacing the keyboard or getting an external keyboard.
I have no idea what can be done but I did a bit of searching and perhaps this can help

Thank youvRasmaSamdra for the link. I will look at it.
This happened to me once and I had to replace the keyboard but I am sure we have tech specialists here that can tell you exactly what to do. Good luck. 🙂
Thank you Carol, but I do not know of any here lol.
Very nice friend Lajenna.
Have you tried pulling the letter block out of your keyboard. And maybe see if something got stuck? And maybe clean the area and the key a little.
If that still doesn’t work, I guess it might be time to change a new keyboard … or maybe get an external one if its a laptop
Thank you alibb fo this useful information.
Meant fo one of my tabs not takes lol.
