Dell :: Broke The Left Ctrl Key On My Latitude D800

Feb 12, 2009

I think I've bent one of the metal connecting parts on the actual keyboard too, so I think I'll need to replace the whole thing and not just the key.

In either case this key is not getting back on. Do current Dell Latitudes use the same keyboard, or am I going to have a hell of a time finding a replacement?

I took the key off because the button wasn't working, and sure enough there was a big wad of dust/hair blocking it...problem is I think I was too forceful when I removed it.

Notebook is a 2003 model.

Dell :: Studio 1537Swap Left And Right CTRL Buttons

I have find myself struggling to open links in new tabs with Firefox and IE because the keyboard shortcut to perform this action is Right CTRL + Mouse Click.

Is there anyway I can swap the Left and Right CTRL assignments around in Windows?

Acer :: Mousepad- Left Clicker Broke

Aug 24, 2008

The mouse part of it works perfectly, as does the right clicker - but the left one is completely useless, which isn't good as that's the most important one.

I noticed this a few weeks ago that it was no longer as 'secure' as the right one, i.e. is seemed to be giving way on one side of the left clicker, and was moving about a bit in it's place. Now it's gotten progressively worse and no longer is able to click even, so it doesn't work and I have had to plug in an optical mouse to the usb port.

I lifted the little mouse clicker slot up with a knife to see what is wrong but all that seems to be the problem is that it is incredibly loose and no longer sits straight in its positioning. Underneath both clickers there is a small button attached to the mainboard and obviously the clicker needs to touch this to perform its' actions. But the left one doesn't seem to be reaching..

So basically I want to know is it likely that Acer would repair this for me? The laptop is still under warranty.

I guess the only long-term solution is an entire new mousepad, which would be expensive.

And that'd suck because 3/4 of it works perfectly and it's just this one button.

Lenovo U/S Series :: IdeaPad U530 Touch - Backlight For Left Most CTRL Key Stopped Working And Turn Off Completely

Jul 21, 2014

Before the end of 2013 I bought an Ideapad U530 Touch for school and it's been working fine up until a few days ago when the backlight for the left most CTRL key stopped working and shut off completely. Every other key on the board is fine, except for this one. Is there any easy to fix to this problem, or do I need to send the entire computer back?

Dell :: How Would I Go About Upgrading The RAM On My Latitude D800?

Apr 29, 2009

Dell :: Latitude D800; Do I Have A Bad Video Card?

Mar 31, 2009

I just found you, glad to be here. I searched for this but came up empty.

Latitude D800, XP Pro:
I have crazy lines and colors on both the laptop screen AND external monitor at the same time. It also is present on both in Safe Mode.

Because it's both I'm thinking the video card is toast. I read that if it was the LCD or the Inverter, the external monitor should display fine.

Dell :: Latitude D800 Won't Hold A Charge Normal?

Jan 13, 2009

I have a Dell Latitude D800 I bought in Summer 2003. I've never really used it away from a power outlet in almost six years of ownership, aside from one time a few weeks ago - when the battery died within 15-20 minutes of powerwing on.

Is it normal for a six year old notebook battery to not hold a charge, even if it's never really been used, and has just been plugged into power (or shut down) constantly throughout the bulk of that time?

My Latitude D800 laptop recently had trouble to turn on.  When pressed the power button (no matter how hrad or hard long to press), nothing happened, totally dead, power light didn't turn on at all.  I tried with battery (two batteries) only, AC power only and both, same thing, but sometimes it could be turned on when I waited for a while or came back later and tried again.

Dell Latitude D800 :: Will Not Power On / No BIOS Information Displayed / No Power On Self Test

Apr 16, 2013

I have a Dell Latitude D800 that will not power on. When the power button is pushed the green power indicator light comes on, the CDROM spins for a moment, but then nothing happens, there is no BIOS information displayed, no power on self test, no Dell logo. It just sits there with the green power light on.I have tried removing the power & battery then pressing the power button for 10 seconds (actually, I have tried as long as 60 seconds). I have tried to turn on with the power connected but not the battery. I have tried removing the connector cable for the power button and the connector cable for the display and then reseating them.

Dell :: D800 Will Not Power On

May 6, 2009

I have a D800 I haven't used in about 10 monthes. I took it out of the bag and charged the battery.

When I turn it on, it boots approximately one third of the way through the loading bar for the BIOS, and then it powers off.

I've tried it with both the power cable and battery, just power cable, and just battery; and it behaves the same way. Last time I used it, it was working fine.

Dell :: Tab Key Broke

Sep 4, 2009

I have a Dell Inspiron 1545. I got it in April. Tonight while I was typing, something didn't feel right with my Tab key. All of a sudden, it popped up and off out of no where.

After looking at the "x hinge" on the back, there is a small chipped piece of plastic that hooks it back onto the keyboard that's broken off.

Dell is saying I can't get a replacement X-Hinge and that I have to pay to replace my entire keyboard.

Is this true? Do I not have any other alternative than to be completely raped by this company? The laptop is only 4 months old.

Dell :: Did I Just Broke My Laptop When Installing RAM Wrong

Oct 13, 2009

I have a dell inspiron 6000 computer and installed Ram into my laptop. The thing was i tried to push it in and it would not go in. I then later saw there was a spot where u can push the ram in and eventually got it in. I did use lot of force pushing it in.

When i open my laptop, it opens but the screen is black and then turns off in like 7 seconds. I then took out the new ram and installed the old ram. It still has the same problem. Does that mean my laptop does not work anymore? Does it also mean i cannot return my RAM to the online site where i purchased my ram since theres a 30 day policy?

Acer :: Change CTRL To FN, Possible
