very easy to do. Takes me under a min for 90% of laptops

I'd be shocked if you meant that literally?

THANKS -- letters wearing off-- common ?
or only if pond on them beyond what hp considers normal lifespan , since happened to 2 hp computers i would think it is kind of a planned obsolescence ?--your thoughts

I think if you are from the older generation who smashes the keyboard like its a typewriter will really reduce the life span of the keys.

K. The one I once replace involved removing quite a few screws and some of the casing.

on some laptops you might have to pop off the piece of plastic on the top of it, but still shouldn't take more then 2 minutes

centro - You basically want to make a factory restore?

Correct, that won't delete the programs that was installed on it when I purchased it? If so then how's it done?

real-brisker · « **Reply #57 on:** August 20, 2013, 10:56:04 AM »

What programs are you refering to.
There can be programs on there from when you purchased it, that may likely have been added on only after the windows installation.

Never mind that, how do I restore?

It depends on your manufacturer and model. Many computes have a restore partition that you can access by hitting F10 (sometimes, F2 or F12) right when you turn on the computer (before the Windows screen comes on). It usually called 'boot options', or the like. From there you will have options such as 'boot to hard drive' and 'boot to cd rom'. One option may be, 'boot to system restore' (or something similar). Select that option and follow the steps. Note that this will remove your data and programs (many times it gives you a backup option, but not always). If the above steps do not work, let me know.
