    Hi,

    Not sure if the problem im having is a hardware problem so here go's.

    I have a ACER TravelMate 4050 notebook (WinXP), about 2 weeks ago I started having some strang problem with my 2 "Shift" keys, it works but it does not work properly. The left "Shift" key only works on a random set of keys (first half of keyboard) and the right "Shift" key only works with anther random set of keys (second half of keyboard) eg.

    Key's that work on left "Shift"
    QWERTYUIOPGHBN

    Key's that work on right "Shift"
    TYGHZXCVBNM

    I resontly formated and reinstall XP and ja gues what I'm still having the same strange problem.

    PLEASE assist - Thank you
    :confused:
