keyboard Inspiron 8000 (unresponsive [F6]6yhn[F7]7ujm)
Problem:Occasionaly the Inspiron 8000 Laptop doesn't register certain key-pressing on the "internal" keyboard (the two diagonal rows of keys of [F6] to n and [F7] to m)
Discussion:
After a thorough checking of sollutions on Dell-forums, I discovered this problem to be recurrent with some users, sometimes with other keys. See
This link at Dell-discussion forum
I also discovered that if the machine is run with the lid closed for a prolonged time, the chance of provoking the problem is enlarged, which could indicate a heat-dissipation problem, which also explains the positive response on dismanteling and cleaning 'cause during this operation the system - obviously - cools down.
Partial (Temporarily) Solutions:
- While looking for a solution, I discovered that lifting the machine at its left-front corner (the [ctrl] and [fn]-key corner), and "twisting" the machine a little, could cause the keys to respond again.
- After reading the forum, I also cleaned the keyboard (dismanteled the laptop, blew out the keyboard etc....). After this procedure the problem did not return for about 2 to 3 months. Later occurrences of the problem and then cleaning out the keyboard (even though nothing like dust or spilling was found) resulted in some restoration.
