Hello.

I own Dell Studio 17 Laptop, win 7 SP1.

I replaced my old keyboard which was spilled water with a brand new one that I purchased.
I have checked the language, driver update.
The keyboard works fine with the rest but S button doesn't work and there are these pairs that comes double.
we, xc, 5f, 6j, -i, =k, and 7*.
What should I do please

Thank you

Sounds like either it isn't fully connected to the motherboard. I would try disconnecting and reconnecting it. If that doesn't work, you may just have gotten a faulty keyboard. I would have them exchange it.
