Title: Keys on Netbook Keyboard messing up.
Post by: corlenbelspar on March 14, 2012, 07:34:58 AM

Seemingly at random the CTRL key gets stuck as pressed entirely by itself when I press some totally unrelated key and now the W, S and E keys are randomly not functioning but the other half of the time they work just fine and as I typed this the e key sometimes acted like I pressed and held e down for three or four characters.  When the W, S and E keys refuse to work at all it seems to fix them when I press all three of them at once.  What's going on here?

I have a Lenovo Netbook with Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 3.
CPU N270 @ 1.60GHz, 0.99GB of RAM.

It didn't start having these problems until a few months after using it on a daily basis in Australia when I bought it in the US if that helps at all.

Sounds like you need to remove some breadcrumbs.
