    Sounds like the pressure sensor below the keyboard is messed up. As stated you might want to call Dell and order a new one.

    I would call dell like suggested, I had problems with the keys coming off and when I replaced them every once in awhile the D button either wouldn't respond or would excute several times in a row. Called dell and they're replacing it.
