Hi dsp_13,

It looks like the issue might be with the keyboard and needs a replacement.

You can check the warranty status here.

If the computer warranty is active, I request you to private message the system service tag number. To private message, accept my friend request; click on my user name and click start conversation.

In case of expired warranty scenario, we would not be able to extend warranty entitled services. If the warranty on the computer has expired, you may contact our Expired Warranty Support (this is for US based customers).

For any clarifications feel free to contact me
