    Several keys on the Acer Aspire - 3 years old - do not now function. Tried popping them off to clean underneath - to no avail. What can I try for remedies?

    Probably replace the keyboard- keyboards are cheap and easy to replace on most models (you never stated yours)

    Thanks for that. It's only about a 10" notebook - are those keyboards replaceable? And where would I find one in Vancouver, BC.?

    Yes these keyboards are available for up to $15 on eBay.
    Just make sure you're buying one that is meant for your notebook- there were many Aspire Ones (I assume that's what you own).

    Are you familiar with the HP keyboard - model #KU-0316 ? If so, which keys are used for brightness control?

    I'm lost here- what does it have to do with your Acer keyboard?

    Nothing - it's a separate matter. Just wondered if you had some knowledge of HPs as well.

    Nope- sorry I've never owned an HP. I asked only because I got confused about it- not picking on you or anything.
