Like said in the title. Some keys are very hard to use lately, sometimes they do work, like 5 min. per hour. It's about the keys backspace, slash under backspace, enter under that key, arrow down & right. Typing starts to be a real pain in the ass and it feels like some other keys are starting to suffer from it too. Specially chatting ingame, because I'm prone to type a bit to fast and thus make a mistake. Mix that with a bit of perfectionism and well ... I just want to use that backspace, and that "Enter" is enter-chat key.
I contacted the support from the laptop, it's an ~2,5 year old Acer Aspire V3-771 by the way, and got a replay that I could send it for repair because the keyboard is defect. They didn't say how expensive that would be, so I asked for a price indication. Got a new replay with that, but it says "LCD Module" for the replacement part, wich in my noob-mind sounds too much like the screen and too little like the keyboard.
Waiting for their reply why they want to replace the LCD-screen when the keyboard is going defect. Now I'm thinking about the options that I have.
1. Let them repair the laptop, they said it's about 45 EUR ... "LCD Module" .
2. Buy an external keyboard, I've seen keyboard going for 30-40 EUR ... kinda nullifies the laptop idea.
3. Buy a new laptop, this one costed about 650 EUR ... apart from the keyboard it still works just fine I guess.
4. Other options what to do/ how I may go about solving the problem myself/ some good advice ???
