    Hi I have inherited a phillips laptop which works fine except a couple of keys dont work (No1, tab and Q) I have popped the keys off and all looks clean, any other ideas?

    (I have used the onscreen keyboard to check its not a software thing)

    Thanks

    Not got personnal experience of a phillips laptop but the majority of cases that I’ve come in to contact with, you replace the whole keyboard unit. It’ll unscrew or unclip and then have a simple ribbon connector (maybe a second set of wire for the button mouse) it not usually a difficult job, in most cases the difficulty is getting hold of a replacement keyboard, if it’s not a current model.
    I’m unaware of Phillips making laptops, so I’d imagine it could be a rebranded unit, which if you can locate that ‘brand’ it’ll be easier to find the spares.
