My keyboard is almost dead, only way I can type at the moment is by holding down a button from the top row while I type the rest. I have un-installed and re-installed keyboard settings.

No look, did work temporarily after some updates, but doesn't work now.

Only keys that work normally are "qweruiop". The other keys, I have to hold one of those keys down just to work.

Has anyone got any ideas on how I can fix this problem?

Very strange.

Turn computer off, go to sleep.

Put computer back on following day and keyboard working fine.

I would recommend a new key board warns, there cheap enough.

Temperamental keyboard, working fine one moment, back to dodgy the next.

Very inconsistent on whether it wants to work.

Getting a replacement from Friday, will take up to 2 weeks to replace

Exactly!

I couldn't wait two weeks, may as well just run in Argos or PC world and pick one up instantly.

maybe its a laptop keyboard, in which case it will need the whole new board system replacing, which would take a while.

Anon has got it in 1, could get it done quicker but will cost $29 for that, so having it collected for free as it is under warranty

Can have the dollar sign, but not the pound sign, interesting
