    I bought a new Thinkpad X61 about 3 months ago. Love the laptop. But my backspace key has lost some sensitivity. It works fine with a hard touch, but a light touch (or a touch slightly off-center) will not register a keystroke.

    Am I stuck dealing with warranty service or does anyone have an idea for a quickfix? I'm not even sure if Thinkpad keys can be pryed off?

    If you call them and tell them the issue you are having, they will most likely send you a new keyboard. You don't have to send your laptop in.

    Is replacing a keyboard really something serviceable by end-users?
