For some reason, my six and underscore aren't working. And, unfortunately, my YIM SN has an underscore in it and a password of mine has a six in it so I can't get into two of my accounts unless I look up the number six and an underscore on Wiki and copy and paste it.

Is this something that's fixable on a laptop? What could be causing it?

(It's a Sony VAIO VGN FS Six40...aha...had to type six...sorta amusing... Anyways...I got it two years ago.

I'm always afraid I'll break the keys if I try and take their tops off so I've never really tried.

The on-screen keyboard is a temporary solution. If the computer is in warranty, I suggest you contact Sony to check it out.

If you think you know what you are doing, try taking off the top of the keys and see if there is something in the way of the contact.

Picture guide for taking out and putting back keys

Also, try pressing the key without the top. If it still doesn't work, definitely have some licensed shop see it.

click start > all programs > accessories > accessibility > on-screen keyboard.

you will be able to use those keys right now but i'd think getting it fixed would be better option.
