    The Delete key, and as far as I can tell only the delete key has gone bust on my 901.

    At one point, the entire keyboard was wonky, spurting out nonsensical sequences on letters for example when pressing the key "f". Then it was pretty much all working after a while except f rarely works. The more i've pushed F, the more it's come back.

    The same cannot be said of the Del key.

    It might be a bit much replacing the keyboard for one key. What are my best options when replacing it? Is there a keyboard I can get that will last longer?

    Can I change it so the keyboard shortcut for ctrl alt delete is something else?

    Try contacting Asus and see if you can get a keyboard replacement for free. If you're still under warranty, they should be able to setup a cross-ship.

    If your netbook is out of warranty, then you can purchase a keyboard at the Asus estore for $15 + shipping.

    When I email ASUS, do I just give them the serial number of the PC?
