    Hi

    I recived a brand new inspiron 9400 a couple of days ago and soon discovered that I cant tap '@' on the keyboard. It's only that very key, other than that everything works just fine.

    Everything is pretty much untouched, it's been running on the factory presets since I got it.

    My first idea was to wipe it and install a fresh copy of xp, but I thought I'd wait with that until I've heard what you guys have to say.

    I dont know if this has something to do with it, but the running os is windows xp pro media center (Swedish), with a swedish keyboard.

    Maybe change the regional setting on your keyboard? It may be set on some other countries keyboard lay out

    I checked the regional settings and they where just fine, I solved the problem however, by removing the language presets for the keyboard and simply re-adding them. Strange, but it worked.
