Open Notepad and type every symbol from your keyboard layout on all three: regular, shifted, Caps-ON. Then publish your findings here - not enough information.

Keyboards are simple to replace. Remove the power cord, remove the battery. Turn the laptop over and look at the screws on the bottom case. If you see a screw that has the icon of the keyboard next to it, remove that screw. Look inside the Battery Case there might be screws it in. If so remove them because normally those screws hold the strip that is above the keyboard and there might be some in there that has the keyboard icon next to it.Turn the laptop back over and open the lid. Pry the strip that is above the keyboard off gently because there might be a cable on it. On most systems the strip above the keyboard will be where the power button is.Once you have the strip above the keyboard removed look at the top of the keyboard and there might be screws to remove that the strip was hiding. There might be little catches that key the keyboard in place located along the side or at the top. Gently work the keyboard out because there is a cable behind the keyboard that you will need to remove.That's all there is to it.

Forgive me, not advertising for these guys,http://www.laptopkeyboard.com/Guides.php/Samsung/Q%20Series/Q430/KBSG5(They say, "A picture is worth a thousand words")As new as the Samsung Q430 series of Notebook PC's is, there should be only two different types of ZIF connectors on the motherboard, used for the Keyboard Cable. But may be three;A ZIF connector is a Zero Insertion Force connector. The motherboard connector on a laptop, that the Keyboard Cable goes into, is a style of ZIF connector.Usually composed of two parts; The bottom part is larger in size, and is Stationary to the motherboard. It is called the BODY.The upper part is smaller in size, and is Movable. It is the Locking Bar. Uses the wedge principle when in the closed/locked position, to wedge the Keyboard Cable into the Body.1) The newest style has no Locking Bar to release. The Keyboard Cable is gently, yet firmly, pulled on; and removed from the motherboard connector. To reinstall just line it up as it was originally, then push in.2) I refer to this as the Flip-Up style;Closed/Locked,http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/Toshiba-Satellite-L645D-L640D/big/laptop-disassembly-13.jpgOpen/Unlocked,http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/Toshiba-Satellite-L645D-L640D/big/laptop-disassembly-14.jpg3) And an older style. I refer to this style as the Slide style;Closed/Locked;http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/Toshiba-Satellite-L675D-L670D/big-body/dismantle-laptop-10.jpgOpen/Unlocked;http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/Toshiba-Satellite-L675D-L670D/big-body/dismantle-laptop-11.jpgAll you can see are two 'Tab's of the Locking Bar, on each side of the Keyboard Cable.These Tabs are EASED up with your thumbnails. Ease up on one side a little, then the other side; then both sides.Moves approximately 2mm. That is a little more than 1/16th of an Inch, or about the width of this capital letter -> O <-IF,....the Locking Bar is broken, or IF,...the Body is broken; you are looking at MOTHERBOARD REPLACEMENT, and why I am being so detailed.Note that other motherboard connectors, may use a ZIF connector of one of the types stated above, also.Touchpad Cable, etc.When replacing a Keyboard, line the flat bar terminals strips on the Keyboard Cable, back up to the contact pins in the motherboard connector.The Keyboard Cable MUST go back in the same position, as it was originally. Therefore look at the old Keyboard, and it's cable; to orient the new Keyboard Cable correctly.For additional questions please post in a Comment.Regards, joecoolvette

Unplug, remove battery, plug in, try to reboot. If that doesn't work, unplug open Memory Bay, reseat Memory Mods. Open the HDD bay, reseat the HDD. You may have jarred something loose. One can only hope you didn't damage the HDD.

It most likely needs a new battery, but you could try giving the battery a full charge first:1. Power off the laptop and disconnect the power adapter.2. Re-seat the battery (remove/reinsert)3. Reconnect the power adapter and let it charge overnight. (6 hr+)4. Disconnect the power adapter.5. Power on the laptop (run under battery power only)If it doesn't boot up and shuts down immediately, it's probably time to see about a replacement battery.2.

You killed the hard drive. You have a worst case scenario on your hands. Sorry.

It sounds like your hard drive is defective and not working properly, you pointed out this is brand new machine and should be under warranty, if the vendor is not prepared to back what he sells, I suggest you get in touch with Samsung to see if they can remedy the situation because you should have a manufacture warranty on the product.

Let me research for you.

Hardware problem, the speakers are no good, try using your headphones or connect them to external speakers.

Hi

Normally, the Win7 to connect to external displays do not require setting the display card. look at your keyboard, consider a symbol of the external display (biasanaya f5/f6/f7/f8 button) if you have found the button, connect your laptop to an external display and then press the fn key on your keyboard with an external display button (f5/f6 / f7/f8).
contact me for further problems

regards

If new and under warranty, do nothing! Return it to the supplier and ask for a replacement or refund

Most Wireless Clients Cards (Laptop/computer) can be configured by a Manufacturer Wireless Utility that comes with the card, or Windows Zero Configuration (WZC)

It is important that the Wireless should be managed only with one application.

You can use the Original Utility, or WZC. When one is used the other has to be Off (Not loaded into memory and not maintained active Windows service).

Disabling the Manufacturer Wireless Utility should be explained in the Wireless Cards document.

The following describes how to Check, and switch WZC On. The same principle applies in case you need to switch it Off, choose the Off/Stop options while you are at the menus (the same method can be used to configure other services too).

1. Click Start and Run
2. Type into the Run box "services.msc" (without the quotation).
3. Scroll down and look for the service Wireless Zero Configuration

Double Click on the Service, Screen Shot of the services

4. Make sure that it is Started and that the startup type is set to automatic.

Screen Shot of WZC

If the Service did not Started, or and is Not set to Automatic.

To Start the Service click on the Start button.

To set the service to automatic, click on the down arrow and change it to Automatic.

No Windows Zero Configuration Service at all.

Use Windows regedit, drill down.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WZCSVC

Add a DWORD entry named "Start" and value "2".

Note, if you are Not familiar with regedit do not try to use it without knowledgeable support.
