6 year old Dell Laptop, 500ghz, win98.

some keys with the slightest touch create immediately many repeats of the letter represented.

We tried all the Ctrl. Pnl. keaboard adjustments.

Anybody knows if it can be opened to clean the base of the keys?

Thnx     uli

I think it may be time for a new Laptop, slight typo mate? its 500Mhz...... I dont think that laptops got much life left in it, but I could be wrong! Cheers, Gunny

me I was using an old ibm 390E (333mhz) until a few months ago.. Wink

Mind you it was for only word processing and nothing else....

I say go ahead and try.. Wink If it helps it helps and if it doesn't well I hope you got some money to get another one..  Grin
