seems like + key is being pressed contineously

[san_crazy]

hi friends,

I got an surprising problem in my system installed with windows  xp sp2.
actually sometimes whenever I open any application like I am using web browser, i get the + sign automatically start being written speedly unstopped like if + key has been pressed permanently, wherever it finds the input field. to get rid of it i keep pressing
the backspace key to halt the cursor but surprisingly it doesn't stop cause the writing speed higher than the deleting speed of backspace key.
due to this it is hard to work on computer cause I cann't use keyboard normally.

any suggestion

Sounds like you may need a new keyboard.

Do you have another one you can test with?

it's a keyboard issue?

Sounds like the + key is sticking.

Try:

a) turning the keyboard over and tapping the back a few times, or

b) if you have a dishwasher - put the keyboard in face down and put the washer on the lowest steam setting. Take it and leave face down in a towel for a few hours. - Honestly this works, I use it with laptop keyboards as well.

i dont know if it works, cause the issue is stopped for unknown time.

thanks anyway

Its a good idea...dishwasher and even a pot of boiling water.

I started another thread about the strangest fixes people have come up with....I think it maybe a good read.
