November 15, 20196 yr Shalom and greetings all my pals, My 7 year old laptop although in mint condition has two or three keyboard buttons including letter L that are no longer operable due to age (not due to any dirt). Is it doable to program and change from number 5 to letter L in numerical pad on right side of my laptop keyboard layout??? If so, how do I do that, please? Thanks, Aharon
November 15, 20196 yr Commercial Member I would just look on ebay for a replacement keyboard. What model laptop is it? They are usually very cheap. You can google how to replace them.

November 16, 20196 yr Shalom my friend. I agree, you can get replacement keyboards for not a lot, especially on older laptops. Mark Harris. Aged 54. P3D, & DCS mostly.

That would certainly be worth it to me if I could find the right keyboard. Another possibility might be to use a wireless keyboard -- also some for less than $15. You might look at AHK (Auto HotKey) for a possible software solution to your problem. https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/ Good luck on whatever you decide. Al Edited November 16, 20196 yr by ark
