I've noticed several keys on my keyboard are fading from use.  Any solutions?

Only the obvious...

>>> Replace the keyboard - effective, of course, but can be expensive and a hassle (difficult, irritating, a lot of work)

If you want to explore this option,

Open the Homepage for your device

Open Category Manuals

Open and read the Service / Maintenance Guide > Search the document for "Keyboard"

 

 

>>> Find and purchase a keyboard cover that increases the visibility of the worn keys

>>> Find and purchase keyboard stickers that increase visibility of worn keys

 

Were it me, I'd search the 'net for a solution that suits my situation.

For example, search for "worn keyboard key letters"

I ordered some labels from Amazon to replace the faded keys.
