    Hello all, I'm having a lot of problems with my keyboard, and am currently using the on-screen keyboard to avoid problems.

    After reformatting, I've determined that it's a hardware issue and not a software problem. What's been occurring is quite frankly annoying, and I'm not sure how to go about solving it. Whenever I type in certain keys, multiples of different keys are inputted before or after the actual key is typed. For example, Ill refrain from using the on-screen keyboard now and type to you, any extra keys in the following sentence were not input by me.

    Ex: I'm nppot rea;lpon;ly sure what is gpoing pon, as the :L, PO, OOOO, and .//// keys are not functioppoponal.

    (Back to on-screen): So it's the O, 9, P, L, ., / keys are all acting strangely, along with random inputs of the period key as if I were holding it down. So if anyone knows of any solutions, I would be very thankful for any help.

    Thanks again guys and gals,
    Domenic
