    I would buy a new keyboard. I bought a new keyboard for my Inspiron 8600 a year ago after the enter key stopped working.
    What type of notebook do you have?

    Last year Zepto were quoting a reasonable price for replacement keyboards.

    However, I would first remove / replace the keyboard including disconnecting and reconnecting the ribbon cable in case the problem is caused by a poor connection.

    Instructions for removing / replacing the 6x24W keyboard are given somewhere in this forum.

    Don't get me wrong, it's great that you try to help everybody here, but isn't it kinda strange that you are the one shipping spare parts to ppl in europe, whyle the headquarters in Denmark should be handeling these kind of things?

    We ship bi-weekly to Europe, so we can always add an extra keyboard, or do a drop shipping straight from Zepto HQ. And I know Zepto HQ should handle this, but unfortunately they don't always do that. So just in case HQ can't handle that we will.

    Do you know if there are any black nox keyboards available? I got a white one on my replacement nox because they were all out of black at the time. Do you know what the price is on them and if I can switch them myself?

    We have a few US layouts in stock for RMA cases. Zepto HQ told me the Nox keyboards will be shipped end of next week.

    It is pretty easy to replace it on an A15. But an A14 is different case.

    And wont you know it, i have an a14. But I'm sure the warrenty would be voided if i switched it myself, so would have to go to the dutch reseller anyways.
