The metals nodes in some keys are stuck. It may be defective. Have it checked thoroughly.

if you can, try keyboard on another computer to see if it's the keyboard causing the problems, if the keyboard is fine,- did it have driver disk as some do? if so reinstall the drivers. is it wireless? if so replace batteries or move it closer to sensor. or is it down to you beating it senseless after a medal of honour defeat or something?

get a new one, if all the mentioned stuff doesnt work it means that some wire isdisconnected in the keyboard, either fix that or get a new one

You will need to buy a new keyboard. Or you can try to open it and clean all the terminals where keys make contact.

It was probably your space bar causing all the trouble. Sometimes when it gets stuck, it can cause a page to scroll up and down. Also, consider the possibility that it might be the "pgup" and "pgdn" keys, or a faulty keyboard. For example, I have a keyboard that I bought so that I could share one keyboard between my Mac and PC. Sometimes it glitches.

Yah, test it w/ a USB keyboard, if that doesn't work, restart the computer (disconnect the battery and ac adapter if neccessary)\n\nAs somebody else said, if the USB keyboard works, you need to get a new inspiron keyboard.

Is it a HP.  Mine does that sometimes - and it's to do with the little button that the laptop uses to detect if the lid is open (little rubber thingy on the top right of the keyboard)\n\nI wiggle that up and down a few times and it usually works!

I'm not sure I totally understand this question, but if the caps lock is on, the key might be stuck.  Just try pressing the key and see if that takes care of the problem.

Well, it's time to clean it. Go to the store- any store that has techie stuff - and get some canned air. Bring it back. Turn the thing upside down and tap it on the table. Damn! Look at all those crumbs, chocalate crumbs, jelly and assorted coffee blots! No wonder your keyboard sticks. Blat the living crap out of the keys, inside every crevice you can. \n Don't take the advice of those who will inevitably say you can hose it down or put it in the dishwasher. I am a fan of hosing all kinds of electronics, fans, etc., down. But not keyboards. They don't like water. Stick to the canned air.

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

I hate sticky keys!!!\n\nDid you hold your shift key down too long?  Windows XP won't even give you time to think about what to type next.\n\nHere you go...\n\nStickyKeys is designed for people who have difficulty holding down two or more keys simultaneously. When a shortcut requires a key combination, such as CTRL+P, StickyKeys will enable you to press a modifier key (CTRL, ALT, or SHIFT), or the Windows logo key (), and have it remain active until another key is pressed.\n\nOpen Accessibility Options. \nOn the Keyboard tab, under StickyKeys, select the Use StickyKeys check box. \nTo turn off StickyKeys, clear the Use StickyKeys check box.\n\nYopu can find the directiosn with clickable links in your HELP menu.  Go to Start, Help, and then search for sticky keys...\n\nHope this helps!\n\nAfter you cancel it, you will probably have to restart your computer to get your keyboard to work right again... I have to...

Try pressing the "fn" key in the lower left hand corner of your keyboard once and then try typing. If that doesn't work, reboot the computer and see if it still does it.

Sounds like your Tab key is stuck. Try giving it a few good presses and see if it still happens.\n\nAlso, make sure the ALT key doesn't double as a function key. Some laptops are liek that. If the ALT key has another number, letter, term, or picture on it besides "Alt", it probably acts as a multifunction key. If so, check for the function key and toggle it OFF.
