    On my 640m, the left mouse key lost its mojo (not springy). So I pulled the thing apart but I couldn't find a way to fix the mouse key.

    Now, the asd, and jkl;' keys don't work, which is a big bummer as my XP password has an l and k in it hehe

    I can't copy and paste from my username. Should I spend the $40 and try a new keyboard out, or is it something more? (Any other ideas?)

    Thanks in advance.

    Yeah you should replace the keyboard unless you want to use a USB one instead.
