Machine Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 I have a TOSHIBA Satellite L775 laptop that is four years old. I've been having an issue for the past five months or so where my E key sometimes doesn't click in, sometimes omitting an E in my text, or does double E's if I click it. It is very annoying and I'm not sure what to really do. One source on the Internet said replacing the battery might help, but if not a technician should be consulted. What should I do?

Sourdough Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) Sounds like the membrane under the key is damaged. I don't know if you can replace individual keys or have to buy a new keyboard.Edit: $20 on Amazon, good reviews.

Pignog Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 the solution to this problem is to copy the letter "e" from something and then save it to a notepad file. Now whenever you need to type an "e" just copy and paste that into your writing. that'll be $50 plz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spot Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Or use the built in virtual keyboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machine Posted November 17, 2015 Author Share Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) All of a sudden everyone's keyboards are getting fucked, first Azure then you. Should I get worried?IT'S A KEYBOARD VIRUS! EEEEWait wait wait... someone actually said replacing the battery might help? I was really confused by it, honestly, though it's slightly more complex than just removing the battery. [url=http://ccm.net/forum/affich-475100-certain-laptop-keys-don-t-work]It has 550 upvotes."Greetings However all of the above, some people have tried the followiing and had success: Shut down the laptop, removed battery and cable for a moment, press and hold the start button for 60 seconds... and replace the battery.. start the lap top.. if that does not work a technician is a must."A lot of people say it worked.I might have a spare Toshiba laptop keyboard. Whether or not it fits your model is a different story.But that's the sign of a damaged membrane switch. Replacing your battery is not going to help in this case.LAME.I might be able to buy one, if I have the cash.
