My (s) Key is broken, can I fix it?

[Padawan Rin]

Hello, my (s) on my Msi Laptop is completely broken, the only way I can even use the letter is by hitting CTRL+V it sucks, the key is worn down, and it slowly stopped working, where id have to press it harder and harder to the point it just doesnt work anymore.

Can I buy a new key? Is it maybe a motherboard issue? Can it be fixed? Is there anything I can do to give someone more information to help? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

The keyboard will have to be replaced. What laptop do you have exactly, what model?

[Padawan Rin]

It's an Msi GT 750, Idk how to pull up the official model # info though.

Contact MSI. They'll tell you if it's under warranty and if you can purchase a new keyboard or key.

GT 750 is the GPU.

The model number can usually be found on a sticker on the bottom of the laptop. It will be a code like: MSI GL62M 7RD 204NL for example.

I'm sure it's not under warranty it's like a 4 y/old laptop

@Omega Ms - 16GC

That is not the model number either.

Its probably best to either take it to a repair shop or use a external keyboard.
If you take it to a repair shop the keyboard will cost about $25 and another $30+ in labour, the price might differ per repair shop.

MSI GE60 (MS-16GC) maybe?


PS: btw. you could use a simple USB keyboard... might be cheaper then repair.

I think the keyboard on the GE60 is easily removable I can not find any video about your laptop model to confirm it.

Most repair shops dont even have msi's i think, and last time i took my laptop to one, they said I couldnt game on my Msi because it wasn't powerful enough, this was when i was playing skyrim maxed

so i still dont understand, do I need to take it to a repair shop and hope they can fix it?

They always buy parts like this from their suppliers. Otherwise they have stuff in stock that they might never sell.

Any repair shop can get a keyboard for this laptop.

most repair shops only repair the common stuff and not expensive gaming laptops. and they rather tell that its your side then that they not specialized for it and have no access to spare parts for your laptop.

(EA/Origin told me once that my i7-7700K and an Aorus GTX 1080 Ti Xtreme Edition is not strong enough to play BF4 because they didnt wanted to help...)

They will fix it they will replace the keyboard.

You could also replace it yourself check the video I linked above.

Ok, I'll watch the video and see if I can manage otherwise it's off to the repair shop for me, thank you everyone.
