Subject: [Skunkworks] Acer Aspire with dodgy keyboard
Hi people,
I got my hands on a brand new Acer Aspire One ZG5 but it seems to have
a dodgy keyboard/track pad not all the keys seem to work. For example
pressing B or N has no effect pressing M types \m. similarly
pressing J has no effect but pressing L types lj in that order.
Another example pressing 8 has no effect but pressing 0 types 8.
Writing this I notice a pattern if I start from 8 and type downwards
and diagonally towards the right crtl button, pressing:
8 types nothing
I types iy
K types kn
< - types ,b
the trackpad is also moody pressing the right button does nothing at
all and the left button alternates between behaving like the left and
then like the right.
So first of all could this be a software problem? The laptop came
with windows xp home pre-installed and I received it brand new box
unopen battery not slotted in had to set windows up. Keyboard is
set to US.
Secondly if the Keyboard is Gaza are there any official Acer dealers
in Kenya who would respect international warranty and repair or
replace the machine free of charge? ( I have the original receipts).
The machine was bought in Sydney, Australia last Friday.
Any suggestions would be appreciated I don't really want to go into
installing a new OS as if I have to return it I want it to be in as
original state as possible.
Thanks
D
