General question about laptop keyboard keys sticking. My wife is on her 4th HP Pavillion laptop is two months. Each one had the same problem. One or two of the keys would stick, repeating itself during word processing (each laptop would have a different key sticking). 2 questions, is HP Pavillions just junk and should she be looking at a different brand? Is there any lubricant or silicon that I could spray on the keyboard to make it more reponsive? Thank you in advance.
