    [SOLVED] Does my faulty laptop keyboard need cleaning or replacing?

    Looks like this issue came back the next day after posting this. But the good news is, I ordered an affordable replacement keyboard, I got it about 2 days ago, replaced my old keyboard for it and it works just fine. I believe my old keyboard got faulty due to laptop heat. My room at home is...

    [SOLVED] Wifi disconnecting after system startup

    Hmm, I think it's a random network profile issue/bug. Probably not an intelligent answer, but have you tried forgetting the wifi network and then reconnecting to it? If that doesn't work, maybe you can try deleting the network profile from Windows' registry to get your system to really "forget"...

    [SOLVED] disable beeping at startup?

    Are you sure the beeping at startup is caused by the battery? I have this issue at times (my laptop's an HP Elitebook 8470p) and I found out that (in my case) it's because of my faulty laptop keyboard with a few stuck keys. Those stuck keys being "pressed" make those sounds at startup. It...

    [SOLVED] How to eliminate stutter?

    [SOLVED] Does my faulty laptop keyboard need cleaning or replacing?

    Thank you moderators for moving my topic to the correct subforum! UPDATE: Today I tried to clean the whole keyboard. I literally opened every key's cap and tried to dust the keys with a dry unused watercolour paint brush and I even used a very soft vacuum cleaner on them. I detached the...

    [SOLVED] Does my faulty laptop keyboard need cleaning or replacing?

    I bought a used/"second-hand" HP Elitebook 8470p in May last year. The keyboard, a US qwerty keyboard (which didn't look like the original, looks more like it's a replacement, as it didn't have the pointing stick common in most HP elitebooks) worked just fine until last January, when the right...
