Re: Vent thread

The E key on my computer randomly decided to die this morning. Just a single key, but it won't work. And since there is an E in my computer password, I can't even log onto my computer anymore.

It is still under extended warranty. Except that all the local Apple stores are closed indefinitely. And I can't wait since I use the computer for work. The best I could do was an appointment at Best Buy for Monday. So I'm probably going to have to actually pay for the repairs.

Just a whole bunch of frustration that I wasn't expecting. Posting from my mother's old laptop she only uses when she travels, so I can borrow it for a few days. But I already miss my own computer.

Oh damn, that's so frustrating. I'm sorry, nonny. I hope the repairs aren't too bad.

My keyboard just stopped working last week right in the middle of a work assignment. I'm on a desktop, so I just had to buy a new keyboard and picked the cheapest one that I could pickup from my local Best Buy since they only allow curbside, but I don't like it. It's not as loud and clickety-clackety as my old one.

OK, this might be a stretch, but is it possible to cut and paste the e into the password?

Re: Vent thread

Nope. I tried that.

Would a cheap usb keyboard work?

Re: Vent thread

If Best Buy is asking too much to fix it, that's what I'll go for probably. I want to at least go to the appointment and see what they say first.

I know the frustration, the E key on my MacBook Air (that I got in 2015) keeps sticking or not even working. It did this before and my husband lifted it with some tweezers plus poked around with a cotton bud/q-tip underneath with some cleaning chemical (he had to wear gloves) and it worked again for a while, but this time...nope I'm still having to hammer pretty hard to register the letter E.

I know it's the most commonly used letter in English but damn, does this bring it home.

Sorry you're suffering it not even working at all!

I have a casserole in the oven and it is absolutely gigantic and I'm being anxious about (1) how long it's gonna take finishing cooking and (2) the oven rack being strong enough to hold it the whole time

Since you mentioned Apple, I assume you have a Mac?
Either way, (I still have a Windows laptop that my cat knocked a whole glass of water on and broke 95% of the keys) I believe you can access the on-screen keyboard via the 'accessibility' icon on the log-in screen/start menu.

Also depending on what type of keyboard you have you can try cleaning it. Most keys are held in place with a small metal wire or a snap. You can try gently easing off the 'e' key and seeing if there's anything blocking the key from working. Just make sure you pay attention to how you remove it so you can replace it exactly as it was before.
