problems with dell inspiron 1564

[jpwilliams]

9 months old and caps lock not now working.if i press it i lose the cursor for approx 5 seconds,so all my typing is in lower case just like this.
second problem is that integrated webcam has packed up and p.c. keeps telling me to "please plug in a supported device"
i will take it back to curry`s under warranty but has anyone else had such problems? thanks in advance
regards

Could it have got wet by chance?

Keyboard spillage?

OK, it is quite common for things to need reseating on laptops if they are used as a mobile device. Possibly the ribbon cable for the keyboard for instance. Equally it could require a replacement motherboard but without the machine to hand its impossible to say.

Saying that, if its still under warranty, take it back and get it repaired by the seller.
