Hi

My laptop key for the number one and exclaimation mark, (not 2, 3, 4, etc) has stopped working - its been dodgy for some time and i've tried compressed air to clean it but it juct doesent work now. This is a real pain as it means i cant enter my normal password into favourit sites. Is there any way i can re-assign the function of the key next to it (that i never use) so that it "becomes" one??

thanks for any help

This is certainly possible but I am unsure that the way to do this is within the remit of Windows Forum.

Re-assigning keys is very much open to abuse - I know of a number of "jokers" who have used this to wreck other computers.

A search on Google will tell you how to do this but, as far as WF is concerned, this is it - unless, of course I am not supported in my views.

You could use alternate keyboard input, i.e. Alt+049 = '1', or Alt+033 = '!'. Note that you must use the numeric keypad for the number input.

But I think there is also a way to replace your laptop keyboard; shouldn't be more expensive than an external keyboard.
