    Hey guys I have a M570U Clevo/Sager, and today for some reason it started acting like the Page Up key is stuck...it is scrolling everything up, no matter what application I am running....the Desktop, Firefox....everything! I press the Down arrow or click on something with the mouse and BAM! It takes off to the top. The keyboard looks OK, nothing spilled in it...mouse checks out...I unplugged all peripherals on USB and still the same thing! I'm stumped! :confused: :confused:

    Any Ideas?? I thought it may be an OS problem thats why I posted it here.... :confused:

    Pop off the key and check for hair/crumbs under? It's pretty easy to check if it's an OS problem - just boot up a linux live cd, check your BIOS screen, load another OS, etc. Otherwise, it would be a motherboard/keyboard fault issue.

    try pressing the pg up key a few times (if you haven't already) and if that doesn't work, try removing the keyboard, unplugging and replugging the connector ribbon, then replacing the keyboard (very easy to do, shown in user manual, or service manual in my sig)

    No, that will not void your warranty.

    You can replace cpu's and gfx cards on these things without voiding warranty, so a simple keyboard reseating isn't going to do it.
