My laptop is currently missing a key and to type this i have to use the on screen keyboard, only because my wireless stopped working. The key was taken off and now is currently jammed unless i press backspace. There is no top or cup etc,is it possible to replace te single or would i have to get a new keyboard all together?

Replacing individual keys on some laptops can be a real problem, including finding just the one key you need. On toshiba's if the key has come off it's often because it has broken off, not just popped off. Also because you say the key un-jams when pushing another key it seems there may well be more than just the one key not functioning properly. From what you've described it does sound like you'll need a new keyboard.

Trying to use overhead projector on laptop with wireless keyboard

Should be the same thing. Laptop is just sending commands to laptop which is already connected to the projector.

Otherwise try contacting Logitech directly here: http://support.logitech.com/contact

Brand new, sometime it misses a letter

Ah, wireless keyboards and mice...
The problem with using most wireless electronics in applications as sensitive as computer use, is that so many things share a close proximity of frequencies. Many wireless routers use 2.4 ghz frequency, as do many cordless phones. Interruptions in wireless products are, unfortunately, a part of the deal as of yet. This 'could' be making it miss a key.
Keyboards are also notorious for allowing a very low number of buttons to be active at one time. It may be that your typing speed and style has you accidentally pushing more buttons than the keyboard allows periodically.
It could be a defect, a not perfect connection on the 'board' of the keyboard that doesn't line up perfectly every time a key is pressed. Only expect this if the same key(s) repeatedly miss.
Lastly, it could be that you're just not used to the tension and feel of the keyboard yet. I know it took me awhile to get used to my laptop keyboard when I first bought it, after using the same desktop keyboard for near 5 years!
Hope my answer was inclusive and conclusive enough. Happy Holidays!

I get it. The multimedia keys above the keyboard is not working. If I'm right, check if you have installed the HP Quick Launch buttons software. If not check in C:/SwSetup and you'll find a folder. Install the application and check if the buttons are working. If not, post back
