sounds like your keyboard is messed-up... if it is brandnew... take it right back an have it replaced... try to do a counter check and hook up a external keyboard... just to clear that fact!...

one other possiblity is to remove the black vent panel so you can remove the keyboard and reinsert the flat-wire connection.

but if it is brandnew... remember the warantee!

If there are keys missing from the keyboard then the laptop should be taken straight back - assuming you bought from a reputable source - you did say that it is "apparently" new.

Oh, and you will need the Alt key.

Guys this should be in notebooks .... :smileysmug:
I would send the laptop back, as it's not the correct layout, it's been tampered with.
