Nice!

You sound like someone who has used a printer, and likely has seen a PC Load Letter error. Ha!

Are you using the working keys on the builtin keyboard?

It would be great to find a software solution.

A hardware solution would be to unplug the keyboard if you are always using an external keyboard. As long as it will bolt with the internal keyboard unplugged.

Plus, the other person’s suggestion to replace the keyboard.

Kinda risky, but you could also see if you can unsolder or cut the track to that specific broken key. There is the risk of completely borking the keyboard, though.

The last time I considered buying anything from HP was, like, 2001.

Others with lower prices innovated.

Then when HP lowered prices, it was because they loaded up with 3rd party subscription programs pre-installed, went with brittle parts that were expensive to fix, systems were slow from bad drivers, and hid repair info. I think they were the first to DRM their printer cartridges. I think they were the first to start ink subscriptions.

No way I’d own anything from HP.

You know how they say that the internet is a series of tubes? We used to think that was just a funny old man. Turns out, it is the literal truth. The internet is made up of SVG files!

Nice job knowing the Alt key trick on Windows!

Isn’t it a volatile time to invest in something that could have very major price swings?

I’ll allow it!
