    I have the 120GB Windows XP Acer Aspire One and really like this computer. The sole problem that I have is that the "e" key does not work half the time. Half of the time when I strike that key, there is no response at all (if a make a solid strike on that key, it may work). I don't want to take it back to the store, since they will send it to Acer for repair (still under warranty) and I won't have it for a while. Just curious, if the members here might have a suggestion for a fix. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I have the same problem with my A key I narrowed down the issue to the left half of the key not working. I was able to put a piece of paper between the key and rubber and now she works.
