Or uninstall it, play a bit with the registry (which could mess up your pc if you're not familiar with that) and reinstall it. You could also buy it or get a serial number from somewhere.

If you bought it new - Take it back to the store.\n\nIf it is Used and you cant take it back - Check the keyboard connections. Look in the manual on how to remove Keyboard. If you dont have the manual , look it up online they are everywhere. You may need to replace the Keyboard.

There (afaik) isn't a button which does so. If they're not working, i presume that something is faulty with your laptop.\n\nTry levering the keys out with a ruler or nail file, and checking if there is dust or dirt underneath them. Clean it out if so.

The key is irrelevant....once the key is used twice it is no longer valid. You have to call microsoft for a new key.

You might be able to save it. Don't turn it on while it is wet. Take out the battery and all removable drives. I have always used Isopropyl alcohol on wet electronics to try and expunge the moisture. It really works very well. This will also get rid of the stickiness on the keyboard. Let it dry completely after using the alcohol.

You can replace it yourself but, the process is pretty involved for a novice person. If you have a lot of experience working with desktops and electronics you will have no problem.\nYou pretty much have to take the entire laptop apart in order to get to the fan. I've done this many times and it takes 20-30 minutes. \nThe PDF below from IBM explains how to remove and replace anything on the laptop in pretty good detail.\nIf you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself there are several sellers on ebay.com who will replace the part for $50 + shipping.\nGood luck.

I would recommend to go back directly to the place you purchased the laptop from and request a refund.  It seems that you are unwilling to provide the manufacturer with proof of purchase in order for them to correct the warranty issue.  \n\nI think this goes further then the warranty though, because the place that sold you the laptop repressented it as new.  \n\nGood Luck

Well and Fn Key is usually found in a Laptop. what ver. of windows does ur laptop recommend? try insalling it from your CD that the company gave it to you. \nUsually those key dont work if you've changed to a newer or older ver. of windows. but in anycase your brigthness and contrast should work anyhow with the Fn keys!

Contact Microsoft Customer Support since you have what they call a OEM operating system. Sometimes the Original Equipment Manufactures overuse their key permits and can cause you this problem. They will have you enter in a 19 digit number and alpha code and verify again. It should clear it up quickly! Good luck. Takes about 5 minutes or less!

Paint? Decals? haha, I would suggest a new keyboard... but laptop keyboards (While not impossible) are rather difficult to replace.  And doing so on your own most certainly voids the warranty.  How bout permanant marker?  The silver ones, or gold ones.  There's an idea.\n-Duo

reinstall window system on it or\ncheck you laptop manual for instruction to reset bios password.

Get a new keyboard.  Not that dear & not covered in kitty poo / sick.  I can't imagine how you'd clean that.\nJust realised you meant water.  Leave it to dry somewhere warm, but no direct heat.  Leave it for a couple of days perhaps.  As long as it's just water & not waste should be ok.

Unless your Laptop Keyboard is Popup removable...you have no choice but to carry it to the Service Center...\n\nFor Warranty claims, it depends on the Brand of Laptop you are using...\nAnd even if its not claimable clause...cleaning a keyboard doesnt cost much...

depends on whether anything is broken underneath the key-cap. if nothing's broken, u can just reattach the key-cap into the keyboard.

if you forgot the password you are hosed! you have to either take the laptop apart and see if theres a connection to reset bios or take all the batterys out , which do you think is easier?
