Laptop keys easily come off on most units. On the one I'm typing on right now, the J key fell of yesterday because my cat scratched at it. Try pulling at it at angles or put a screw drive between the keys (I accept no blame if you break something). I would contact the seller or the manufacturer though. It is their fault they didn't give you a pound key. But then again, I'm not the most well informed person out there...

even if you change the key phisically, what is displayed on the screen when you push it stays the same.

erm.. you buy a Laptop with a certain key layout, its not the manufacturers fault.. you could ofcourse look for a replacement keyboard, or when you reinstall windows, set the keyboard layout to english (UK), that should actually work i gues.. Maybe you can even change that setting without reinstalling windows, but i dont know how

but if you can do that, you should have the Pound sign again ( true,.. it would look like the $ on the keyboard,. but in windows it should draw a pound sign instead

)
