Keyboard....weird!

Hi...I've reported this before, but not had any replies....
 
The problem is, when I'm typing and I hit the 'g' key...often, not always, the letters/text that should come after it somehow leap into the text that precedes it!!...... and occasionaly this happens witht the 'y' key too....and when it does, as you can imagine it  all becomes gobbldeygook
 
Also, sometimes, when I hit the 'g', suddenly it will open messenger, or the start menu etc.....
 
Weird!.....do i need a new keyboard, or is it summat I can download and repair.....
 
Thanks for your help ......

    I'd say its a keyboard. You could try reseating the kb cable, but replacing the kb may be the best bet.

    Hi,

    Run the Diags, so you can test it outside of the OS.

    I had the same problem on an i6000.  I lowered the sensitivity of the touchpad to almost nothing and it is very rare that it goes crazy.  So tinker with the sensitivity.
