My laptop keyboard has something wrong with it, and the letter N is doing this:

nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Yeah, that. It's so annoying I just wanna chuck my laptop, and now it needs repairs, as I tried to unstick that letter, without much luck, so now I'm down one VP (my ntouch PC), and now I gotta either save up for a new laptop or laptop repairs.

Any suggestions?
 
Pop off the key, it could have something sticky below it.... or the little piece ( I don't know the name I'm not computer savvy in the slightest ) that makes the key retract could be bent. :dunno2:

I popped off a bunch of them, to no avail. It just might need professional attention, something I can't afford at this moment, until I start saving up for repairs, which isn't gonna come cheap.
 
You could always switch the key piece underneath with one that you don't use too much that way it would just be your second Ctrl button that didn't work? :dunno: Again, I'm pretty terrible when it comes to computers....

That's okay. I actually need a bigger laptop, anyways, so I'll just save up for a new one.
 
You can use the OS virtual keyboard in the meantime, this can be activated from accessibility settings.
 
If can't fix that key on your keyboard, the cheapest and fastest solution is get cheap 10 dollars USB keyboard, plug in ur laptop, viola! You got external keyboard that got all keys working!

I wouldn't say that's our world.... I'd say that's like..... the gateway.... like, the hall leading up to the door into our world... :laugh2: The world is so much worse... :laugh2:

:Strange, never stopped to notice that creaking door entrance, should we warn them? ;) :P

I like to think of it more as a gateway..... like in Vegas, one of those really brightly lit glowing gateways that lets you know there's a party right through it.... that kind of gateway. No warning needed, if they can't see that one coming they are just going to have to learn to adapt! :D
