Hi im new on the forums :P
im sittin on a zepto znote 6324w with vista home premium 64bit.
i recently spilled soda ( doh) into the laptop keyboard and the keyboard broke. only it still works but for instance when i am pressing s it presses a'æ and so on.
i plugged in an external usb keyboard and can use it easily as i am not a very mobile person nor am i having the pc located on my lab lol so no biggie. but the keyboard is randomly pushing buttons on its own, and now thats a pain in the but to have your pc constantly pressing s or page down or esc for that matter, when i press the buttons it stops, i could get it fixed at a retailer but that would cost me a months rent, and since i am studying i dont have that kind of money, so i tried first to disable the keyboard drivers without luck as the disable option is grayed out on keyboards, so i tried to remove the driver but it cant complete uninstall without reboot and it happens to reinstall on reboot as well -_- so i tried to disassemple the laptop on my own to directly pull out the plug from the motherboard, without luck, i had removed all the screws but at the end there was some screws to small for me and any screwdriver i could get my hands on, i even tried a screwdriver made for wrist watches but it was not small enough. so i tried fiddeling around with regedit on the ps/2 controller i8042prt.sys file only to meet the same impenetrable wall that is microsoft, so i started messing with system files and drivers for the keyboard with same result, the closest i got was when i got both my ps/2 and my usb disabled by deleting ( throught cmd ) i8042prt.sys and kbdclass.sys from my system32/drivers but avast, that was only a couple of minutes until windows found out what i had been doing and resurrected the files from the great beyond, :'( i'm normally on ubuntu but i am using this labtop for gaming and therefore using windows in. i find it hard to belive that the only way to do it is with either a saw or a retailer, there must be SOMEONe out there who can think of something i have not. please?
