If anyone wonders: I sent it to service again. This time I visited a Samsung Service Center and made sure that they would fix it properly this time – i.e., replace the whole keyboard. So now I have to wait until they’ve got the parts and fixed it. Hope everything will be fine after this.
Compressed Gas, or ‘Air-Dusters’ are your friend.
I keep my laptop waaay cleaner than my desktop, but one blast under the keyboard every month with a can of comressed gas and you’ll be horrorfied at what comes flying out, crumbs, hair, skin, you name it.
I tried to get one of those keyboard covers for my keyboard, made out of silicone but since the whole world revolves around the US, I couldn’t buy one with a europena shape to it (large Enter key)
but yes, seriously 90% of keys jamming is some globby funk under it.
Guess I belonged to the other 10 % then, since not even the service could fix it.
Not my netbook back with a replaced keyboard, and it might just be me but.. what a difference! All keys feel different, in a good way. And obviously my ‘O’ key is fixed.
I just booted it now, hope I won’t find any other problems with the keyboard.
Nice one Xyrox – good to hear they fixed it 🙂
Thanks for sharing, should be useful for others who get similarly stuck 😉
My C key is semi stuck. I played with it a bit and it works but isn’t perfect. Where to buy a replacement keyboard? 😀
You can buy a replacement UK keyboard for £39 + VAT + p&p from Laptop Bits.
Hey!
I was curious about getting a better price so I checked eBay, they have a million of them there.
I found a black one for 19.99 plus 9.99 shipping, which also said “Or best offer” so I entered 15.00 and got the offer instantly accepted. $24.99 total for a replacement keyboard to Sweden was not bad at all!
