    That sounds like you need a new keyboard. You could try RJTech for that.

    My keyboard started doing something similar, after I spilled something on it. Have you?

    If you do need a replacement, skip RJTech, as you'll pay $60 + shipping. Hit eBay.

    Black

    White

    I'm currently using the white version. Its pretty.

    The chicony (actual manufacturer) model number for this keyboard is MP-03083US the clevo variant is MP-03083US-430L or 4307L. other MP-03083US have a different cable so they probably wont work.

    If you are too worried (and dont want the BR, or dont want to pay that much) Here is a new, black, better priced one, totally 100% compatible.

    NEW Clevo M54 M55 M660 MP-03083US-430L Keyboard M550 - eBay (item 190466032632 end time Dec-08-10 06:17:46 PST)

    Yea it is pretty :D I have the US version
    Are you sure thats the one you have? those are BR (assuming thats british, not brazillian)

    Looks like the exact version I bought. I dunno.

    Does being a BR matter, as long as its QWERTY? We all have the same BIOS.

    As said before, too 1337.
    No seriously, it's probably spill or smashed up. And the chance of spill is higher.

    You know what, **** I am tripping. The one I have bookmarked (and own), and the one I linked are not the same. This is the proper keyboard.

    Sorry about all of the confusion.
