subject: A Key Fell Off Laptop Keyboard [print this page] How to handle with the laptop keyboard laptop keyboard when one or two keys are destroyed? Here is a good way to replace it and you dont have to change a new keyboard. One of my friends introduces me this way to replace the bad key by accident. For his gateway MX6454 Laptop KeyboardMX6454 Laptop Keyboard got a key off the keyboard, now he said its no problem to use that letter. Here share with you, just for reference.
When you face this problem, its not wise to change for a new laptop keyboard because of only one key. You can use software solutions to have it re-work. There is software named RemapKey, which is virtually a savior for the keyboard. It can change the location of the keyboard keys. That is to say, when a button on the keyboard is broken, it can let another seldom used button to replace it. And its also very simple to operate. Just download this software from the website and operate it. There will be a notice replacement of the keyboard. The upper column shows the original keys, whereas the lower part is the replaced distribution of the keys. Generally, the keyboard has two Shift buttons, so you can use the left Shift key instead of the broken key. Drag the broken key letter in the upper column to the shift key of the lower part. Then you will see the shift key turns into red X (the broken key). So save and restart your laptop. You will see the broken key can be used again at the shift position. Later when using the broken button, you can use the keyboard on the left of the Shift key instead.
Does this sound very interesting? Just for reference because I never tried this software and my laptop keyboard is always working well. If you want to save money, take care of your laptop. Thats the point
