At my old keyboard, the letters are just bits of what once was a white line. I didn´t care much as I never used it. But now that my laptop is dead, I have to use this one all the time. And sometimes I see a U instead of an I or a p instead of an o. Today, my friend Dixie came and took my laptop to the technician she knows. I hope he can fix it. Meanwhile, I will try to find an old white marker and write down the letters of the keyboard. When it is dry, an carefully, I will cover it with tranparent nail polish. Do you fix your old keyboards or do you just buy another one?

I'd probably just smash it against our concrete post

no seriously instead of using markers and nail polish, a neater way to do it is cut letters from a thick and smooth magazine, paste it on the keyboard, apply pvc or Elmer"s glue and wait for it to dry and form to a hard transparent film. I seldom buy. one of the things i do is buy junk and scraps so there's a lot i can reuse from our junk yard.

Your idea of letters from a magazine is wonderful! Thanks friend. I hate to buy things if I can fix old ones.

I've only ever had the one keyboard, but it's only 2 and a half years old and all the letters are still legible. I hope you get your laptop fixed.

I hope so too. I don´t have the money to buy a new laptop right now.

I've been touch-typing for most of my life. As long as I can feel the bumps to find the home row, I can type in the dark. :P

I have a few keyboards at home. All these were purchased by my family members, and since keyboards hardly get damaged, the unused ones are still unused.

I would have to check on old keyboards. I also have a couple of them at home.
