The "E" key looks like it has a disease. It's all silver and it's turning clear. The "T", "I" and "O" keys are doing the same thing. Anyone else have issues with their keyboard? Like, is this common for this model? I did order a new keyboard, but I haven't installed it yet. It's either do it myself or find someone to do it for me. But as soon as someone else touches it, the warranty is voided. I have the worst luck with computers.

I've had mine since October and have never had any problems with anything, let alone the keyboard. The keyboard should be easy enough to install yourself so imo it wouldn't be worth it to get someone else to do it.

Since it's new, I've made sure to be careful that my fingers aren't greasy or anything like that. Especially after it started wearing off. It's just so strange. Yeah, I think I'm gonna take a crack at it myself. I'm usually pretty good at this kinda stuff. crosses fingers Here's what it looks like. WEIRD, huh? I've never seen anything like it. I've seen letter wear off after years of use, but nothing like this.

I emailed them and attached another photo that I took. They sent me a replacement keyboard. They said something about not having spare keys and that they wouldn't do it. (they never gave me that option) He just me a link to the directions online to do it. Which I have to write down by hand because I don't have a printer yet. I'm kind glad to hear this hasn't happened to anyone else and I just got a bum on and the next one won't do this.

I try not to touch the keys if I'm eating a sandwich or chips or something. I wash and wipe off my hands. And I wipe off the tips of my fingers after I put lotion on. Must be the natural oils in my skin. Which will suck if it happens again with my replacement. And my left mouse button is starting to wear like that a little too. It looks like something is on there and I keep trying to wipe it off, but to no avail.

I've never had an issue with the keys on my 1525. I have wanted to chuck the laptop out the window for other reasons though.
