Hi there, I was having trouble with my keyboard last month - when I pressed the F key, loads of letters came up. I replaced the keyboard, but now it has a 'sticky' key - it is constantly typing 'h' and making the laptop un usable! Is my replacement keyboard faulty? Or is it something else? Please help! Thanks

Did you replace the keyboard or did you take it to a shop? You could try disconnecting the internal keyboard and then use a dry cotton cloth to wipe the bottom side of the keyboard. Then reseat the connection and try it again.
I just replaced a dell laptop keyboard. Bought a brand new Dell keyboard for $39 plus $10 UPS shipping. http://www.powerbrixx.com/index.php... Dell charges $89 for a new keyboard
Also, try an external keyboard and see if it has the same problem.
