AAAHHHH! keyboard!

[disturbed1]

ok, so i have a toshiba laptop that I bought new a year ago. For some reason the 5, t, g, and b keys stopped working about six months in. I just replaced the keyboard and was working just fine until now. the same F'ing keys. Wondering if this is a hardware or software problem before i go get a replacement. Oh, im using the on screen keyboard to type in the missing keys.

seems like a hardware issue, since the non-working keys are in a column.

do you put extra pressure there or is there extra heat coming from that area that may have caused the damage to the circuits?

no extra pressure, i have a cooling thing between my lap and laptop. this blows cuz no one has this in stock.

i have a cooling thing between my lap and laptop.

Just remember, the "boys" don't like getting cooked. Lowers sperm count. Unless that's a good thing. Guess it depends on what kind of relationship you're in...

LMFAO! I knocked up my girl within one week of trying and this was a two day attempt lol. I got plenty of olympic swimmers. most of the time i use it on the table with the cooling pad. So, i guess the problem is resolved. I powered the thing off and disconnected the keyboard and reconnected it and the keys work again.
