IF it's POOP, discard the laptop, burn it and burry it.  Disgusting man!  If its soda pop, then remove the keyboard, flush it with running water, let it dry and put it back on. I have done this three times. It works!.

It sounds like it has some trash (i.e. food) caught under the key.  On most laptops you can pop each individual key off and clean underneath.  Not sure about yours.....  \n\nKeep the soda and chips away from the keyboard.  :)

if its not under warranty, remove the keyboard from the notebook, and steam mashine the keys, then rub it with paper towels then put back, as if u do that on a notebook with warranty it goes void, or you do it while the keyboard is still in the notebook you could render the notebook renderable to un-usable state if u liquid clean the keys.\n\ni suggested steam as its thin water and heat, yet cleans well, but not inside a computer, only the parts like under the keys or in the groves etc etc, if done while still wired in , it could steam the board (not good lol)\n\ntake care,\ndez

might be the keyboard, has some dust build up from a little moisture when it was wet, could be corrosio, could be it got on the cable end and it is corroded, I would take it out and check the cable end, if the socket and cable end are shiny, get a new keyboard, you can probably get one on Ebay for about 15$

Could be a dodgy mouse or keyboard.  Also try looking for sticky keys.\nIf it is a new computer then send it back and get it repaired for free.

Depends on the keyboard :-)\n\nBut in general, the Function key -- the top row, are aux keys.

Apt,\n\nIf you know how to use a screw driver, you can try opening the keyboard up and seeing why the keys are sticking.\n\nYou do not have to be a brain surgeon to take a keyboard apart.\n\nIf all else fails and you can't get it back together, you have lost nothing. Just replace the keyboard.\n\nGeorge

I used to use a water wet tissue, I prefer to use water only and it works .. just be patient and repeat.\nbut if the keys are sticky from inside the keyboard, don't waste your effort and go for replacement!

Try using a can of compressed air to free any particles which may be lodged under the keys.  If that doesn't work, take it in for repairs.  Next time, DON'T BUY GATEWAY ... they totally suck !!!

As well as the other answers...\n It sounds like one or more keys on the laptop are being\nshorted out, and the problem is getting worse. I have had this\nhappen on a few keyboards, for various reasons. \n If you can go to the Compaq website and find how to remove the keyboard, often just releasing two or more slid buttons \nat top or botom, or sliding keyboard up or down, and gently lifting, to expose a ribbon cable, which you usually snap out a wedge release and pull out cable, etc.\n THEN, you can examine the keyboard, or plug in an external\nkeyboard, without interference from the "suspect" keyboard.\nSince the touchpad, and the self-suspend mode are also\nmalfunctioning ( these may be keyboard controlled ! ), there\nmay be a larger problem with the I/O connctor from the laptop top, to the motherboard. I suspect mechanical problems. Could the keyboard have been squished, and had buttons pressed too hard, which had caused contacts to \ntouch at random? There is a number of keyboard -design peculiarities I have run across with DRY contamination- whereby the traces on the circuitboard itself, particularly\nsilver painted ( probably multi process electroplating )\nor black carbon paint traces, will produce a fine powder,\nwhich drifts across the circuitboard, gradually shorting the\ntraces, causing random inputs. This dry silver, or black powder can be virtually invisible to the naked eye, and must\nbe cleaned off with a damp cloth, gently... It is the exact same powder that shorts out many remote controls for TV etc. and shorts out many game pads...\n Based on the behaviour of the keyboard, and the fact that nothing is wet, this would be my first bet.\n Laptop keyboards are "one-of a-kind " and there are no rules, as manufacturers boldly try every new idea to make them thinner and lighter... \n I dont think that the keys themselves are at fault, and that you have to look at the actual traces UNDER the keys...\nIt is a bit difficult, and you must proceed slowly and carefully...\n With ordinary Desktop keyboards, my advice on this ANSWER \nforum, is as follows... and some of the same advice still applies...\n\nMost of the answers already have some merit.\nI have a couple of older keyboards that I really like\nthe key action, the placement, and the key sizes.\n(the backspace is two keys wide, The ENTER is two buttons wide and two buttons tall, such as an IBM Selectric, etc.) \n There are about 5 different kinds of keyboard construction.\nThere are also dozens of rare models, and depending on what\nkind it is, you either can take it apart fairly easily,\nor you should not even open the case! One type of IBM board\nhas a coil spring under each key with a rocker arm. The spring is like the one in a ball point pen, and all are loaded, so that if you take the top and bottom halves apart, you end up with hundreds of springs and parts flying all over the room.\n However. 99% of keyboards are not as complicated. Many keyboards have screws on the back. If so you can use a phillips screwdriver (star) and remove them. The top and bottom of the keyboard usually have snaps that generally open from the front first, and hinge on the back. Gently pop the two halves.  If there are no screws then the halves just pop.\nUse a flat screwdriver to pop along the seams. Every couple of inches there will be a snap.\n You will generally see one of 2 basic types today.\nThere will be a green cirucuit board with copper traces on it, covered by a rubber sheet with buttons in it, or you will find each key has a tiny rubber button -- open the keyboard upside down, so the keys and buttons are held\nin place...\nNote that the SPACE bar, the ENTER and other wide keys may have two buttons, and a wire or plastic bar underneath that has an arm on each end to keep the wide key from wobbling from side to side. These vary quite a bit in how they snap in place. You have to figure out how to unsnap them - usually by springing in the two ends which ar
