    The plug that goes from my keyboard to the motherboard is having some problems. I usually have to spend 5-10 minutes jiggling it around until I get it just right and it actually works. Are there any solutions besides buying a new keyboard? If so, how much money would these solutions be?

    Are you using a PS/2 or a USB keyboard?

    Solution:

    If the keyboard is PS/2 (round plug), buy a USB keyboard for about £5

    If the keyboard is USB, move it to a different USB plug for about £0.
