When your keyboard doesn’t work properly
In our tech savvy society, many of us take many things for granted. When we power on our notebook, we expect it to work properly.
I never realised how much I appreciated a full functioning keyboard until mine went a little cranky due to a water spill.
When I pressed “2″, the screen showed “24″. “9″ and “0″ were not working at all. What’s worse was that all of a sudden, commas started running across the page.
Accessing any website that required password authentication was a nightmare as only the black dots appear when I keyed in the password. Since “2″ was faulty, I had error messages appearing so many times when I tried to log on the the intranet and bank sites.
By God’s grace, after a few days, the keys started functioning properly again.
This episode has taught me two valuable lessons — one, do not place water next to your notebook, and two, be more patient.
