Default Enter key broken!

Damn, the enter key on my Dell laptop just broke, and I've only had it for a few months. Dell sucks! I remember my dad had a couple of keys break on his Dell laptop a few years back. Hmm, this isn't saying a lot about Dell's quality...

Spamming requires little use of the enter key. Usually the mouse, which is also made by Dell.

The key kinda fell off, but the mechanism still works fine, so instead of having a large key to press, I have to aim my finger at this little button.

Yeah. My dad's first reaction when I told him was "call them up and get it fixed". The thing is, I still have one essay to write.

is there a 2nd "enter" key on your dell? i think you can activate it when you enable number lock. i had that feature on my thinkpad in the day.

you could also hook up a usb keyboard so u get "enter"

Yeah, I could, if I had one. I'll just have to bear with pressing the button for a while.
