Definitely replace the keyboard. If you're willing to have a go:

The laptop is still a pretty good spec

Hmmmm, I know what you mean! A little bit tricky that one

jims-terrano · 18-04-2012, 22:21

Hi Pete, sorry couldnt answer phone whilst i was at work. I'd agree with Clivvy and see what he can find you, think you've had your monies worth and for an Advent to last 6 years you've done very well.

All The Best Guy's I'll be turning red soon. But before that I'm off to see if I can find one of pouch thingys

looking back on this I think I owe Melissachels an apology, my jokes were a bit sexist - sorry!

all the best with the lappy Pete :-)

excuse typos.

Why not just add a keyboard and a monitor and use it like that. Use the Lappy as as work station.

arcascomp · 19-04-2012, 08:40

Briggie, if Clivvy can't find anything I might have something you could use as a stop gap solution - I have an old Dell laptop, very high spec in its day, being repaired just now at a cost of £90. After my kid's finished his exams in the end of May I'll probably flog it.

Meantime, I have at least one old Toshiba that works, it's a bit slow and runs Windows 2000 but it does go okay - hasn't got a CD rom drive built in as it was an ultra light in it's day, but I have a PC Card CD rom drive that works in it. More than welcome to it, just so you can type spaces again!

Can you use the on screen keyboard to get a spacebar - not ideal but easier on our eyes!

What you need is a Radio Amateur. They'll have it fixed for you in no time.
