Dear all , my laptop seems to have a couple of sticky keys, not enough bounce, and dull to touch. Any advice, suggestions how can I overcome this problem.

Ebay. £15 for a replacement keypad.
Check youtube for howto. Takes about 15 minutes normally.

You'll need a full model number if you want to make sure you get the right replacement keyboard.
I have found that some replacement keyboards on ebay are rather poor quality and don't work very well. I bought a UK layout keyboard to replace the US keyboard on an old laptop, and have had several issues with keys either sticking or requiring a very hard press to make them work. I was pretty tempted just to put the US keyboard back in (the main issue was when working remotely the mappings of several keys would be wrong as my office PC has a UK keyboard).Let's settle this like gentlemen: armed with heavy sticks
