Laptops Direct

Hi, can anyone please help. I bought a laptop from Laptops Direct its a Lenova G550, T6600. It was purchased on 18th Feb. The @ function is not found in its proper position on the keyboard. It is found where the " is above the 2. Can this be fixed by myself or is this a faulty system. I have tried to phone the number Laptops Direct gave me for Lenovo's technical help, but they do not deal with this notebook. I sent an email to Laptops Direct explaining the fault and that the phone number was incorrect. They replied by sending me a link to their returns page on their website. As I have only one day left in the 28 day period for using the Sale of Good Act 1979 help is required fairly urgently.

    Sounds like a US keyboard. You can change the mapping in the Control panel :)

    Hi, depending on what OS is installed XP/Vista/Win7, you will find the options in 'Control Panel' (start/settings/control panel) then click on Regional Settings. Change the language to United Kingdom and Keyboard Layout to UK and save. This should do the trick.
