2 keys acting strangely on laptop keyboard
On my Dell Latitude D610 Laptop, the delete key does not work at all.
The down arrow key only works when the right arrow key is already pressed (I have to press and hold the right arrow key and then press the down arrow key simultaneously to scroll down with my keyboard)..
I find it very strange, not to mention extremely annoying.
Anyone know why that might be happening?

sounds a lot like a hardware failure in the keyboard, have you tried Dell regarding a replacement?

Is it under warranty?

I actually did just get a replacement, because on the old keyboard the shift key came off, and now this is happening on the replacement keyboard. should I just get another keyboard?
