Hi
My keyboard has been acting wierd lately. When I pres key 's' or 'g', the key ']' gets typed automatically innumerable times. The backspace or del key doesnt work at all at this time. I would then have to restart the laptop. I have turned the laptop upside down and tried to remove dust. Pls suggest if its jus a dust prob or virus and wht shld be done for this?
Pls help

Well how long have you had the laptop? I'm guessing it is just dirty, try using some compressed air to clean between the keys as best as you can.

Hi Vasu - I have the same problem with my Medion Notebook (New)- intermittant problem with certain keys running wild - the keys running change at each new switch-on.

Keyboard stripped and contact points cleaned. Other clues - Desktop folders flash intermittantly.

Sometimes the machine works normally- mostly it does not. Trying to solve now.
