Try the keyboard on a different computer-still a problem, buy a new keyboard

Don't push the "backspace", "g" and ''h" keys so hard on the new keyboard.

Hi

Have you tried another k'board on your system to make sure that your k'board doesn't have a problem?

Have you tried removing the keyboard from the laptop, and examining the keypads for wore, blowing compressed air though it

try these

If that doesn't help, contact the manufacturer of the laptop for a replacement keyboard. laptap keyboards can be costly, but not as expansive as a new laptop.

Plug in an external keyboard and test. Most laptops have a plug to do
this. This will help you conclude if hardware or software.

Fixing laptop keyboards is expensive. When you do get fixed, consider
using an external keyboard on machine when at home/office to take
strain/stress off the laptop keyboard to make it last longer.

(P.S. I've killed more laptops than I wish to think about simply
because I'm hard on the keyboards. External keyboards "feel" better and
are much less expensive to buy and replace).

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.
