    So i recently bought a HP DV5130 and i noticed the keyboard often does not register when i press the keys. When i'm typing it tends to skip some keys i press. Is this a common problem and is there anything that can be done to fix it? Thanks.

    Chain, this is the exact same problem I had with my DV5000t. Luckily I bought mine from costco and took it back no questions asked. The main keys that did not work were the "E" key and one side of the spacebar. At first I thought I wasn't pressing hard enough but after two weeks it was clear it was not just a matter of not pressing hard enough.
