I've dropped an E, so forgive my typing!

Postby Strika » Wed Apr 30, 2008 10:46 pm

Hi all, well, yes....it's true! I dropped an E! Well..... to be honest, I dropped it a few days ago, but have struggled through, carefully correcting everything before hitting send! But, my patience is wearing thin!!!!! :x Plus my finger is getting sore!!! :oops: I'm not sure if I can gt it fixed or if I will have to replace the whole lot? Maybe some more experienced people in this area might be able to shed some light on the subject? Cheers! :D

Yeah and it's a bastard smitty! It keeps catching on my little finger on my left hand! If I don;t take a lot of time typing, then I miss all the E's! If you go back and have a look at my posts over the last week, (If you have a load of time) you may notice that I keep dropping E's! :lol: Pretty cool for an old fart to be getting into dropping E's! :lol:

Ahh- not the sort of 'E' I thought you may have dropped Marty! :lol:

I found the "ICE" to be a little expensive compared to dropping an "E"! Mind you, I havn't yet had a chance to price an "E", so maybe I am talking through my arse and the "E" could be more expensive than the trip on the "ICE"!!! :lol: Can you just fix the individual one, or does the whole lot have to be done? Maybe it's not replaceable at all, and I'll have to buy a complete new lappie??? I guess I'll do some investigating today sometime. 8)

I'm assuming dropped as in the spring to push the E back up is knackered? What I did with my old keyboard was this:

Find a button you don't usually use, like pause/break or something out of the way. The spring action is just a rubber thing usually that tears after lots of wear. Just replace your old shitty E with the other key's rubber insert and walah!

Depending on the keyboard and what the problem is. . . . but I thought you could just pull it out and then put it back in again ? :? :shock:
