    Dear All,


    A friend of mine has this model ( zd8180ea) and is having a peculiar problem. When he edits documents or surfs the web his keyboard fails to type some letters. He writes a word and some letters do not show up. Often space fails to work and words, attempts of words, are linked together. I am not a big HP expert but I think there is a faulty keyboard connection. I could be wrong and a software solution is available. Can anyone give me a hand?

    OS: Xp Sp3


    Where can I find the ATK drivers for this model?

    sounds like my hp, never found a cure but my uncles gf spilled her beer on the computer so i chucked it. i think it was just the cheap plastic keys they liked to fall off and stick to.

    I see, I guess he can try to fix it before chucking it away :). Cheers for the answer.
