Please can anyone help! My D key has gone all floppy and won't operate when I press it. It is not broken off as I can lift it from the bottom edge but cant see how to put it so it lies flat and can be pressed easily. it works but I have to pause to press it so hard to get it to type! Really can't affordd computer shop to look at £35 basic fee!!!!!!!!!

YOUR PROBLEM IS QUITE SIMPLE TO SORT OUT. FIRSTLY IT SOUNDS LIKE THE RUBBER TOUCH PAD HAS PROBABLY JUST COME AWAY FROM THE KEY. JUST GET A VERY SMALL FLAT SCREWDRIVER & UNCLIP KEY FROM KEY BOARD , IF RUBBER IS NOT UNDERNEATH KEY THEN JUST GET HOLD OD AN OLD KEYBOARD & TAKE A RUBBER TOUCHPAD FROM THAT. IF TOO BIG JUST CUT IT DOWN ,PLACE ON CENTRE OF KEY OR BASE ,THEN JUST PRESS KEY BACK ONTO KEYBOARD & VOILA.
