Hi
No impact, no liquid, good in the morning, problems in the evening, at once.

No combination of Function key or shift key, will allow any display of " a,f,:,x,c,n,<,>,?.

Rebotted, booted into safe mode, command prompt. No change or registration of the key strokes.

Doesnt make sense, all 10 keys , hardware failed at once without any external damage??

Laptop just of Warrentee and awaiting support reply from Acer.

Please Help.

thanks for the suggestion.
I planned something simmilar by booting into dos. I need to find out how to get a bootable version of Linux to boot from. New world for me.

Thanks again
