Sony Vaio FE "ESC" key ative all the time

Hi,

I have a sony vaio VGN FE670G and my computer has the "ESC" key activated almost all the time. I even installed a keyboard mapper to make sure it was the ESC key that was "stuck". Physically the keyboard is fine, but out of nowhere is like the ESC key is pressed all the time. Its impossible to use a computer like this.... I even have problems to boot it up (beeps for keyboard failure) so I don't think is a problem with windows.

Sometimes the computer is working fine and then the next minute is useless and the the next minute is fine again. Everything I try to to gets canceled because of the ESC key.

I even tried to use an external keyboard to see if it was some kind of pressure of my hands over the keyboard that was causing the problem, but even so after a few minutes the problem apperard again.

What to do? I'm in Brazil and there is not Sony support for notebooks here.

thanks!

 

Ok,

Since the warranty was gone I just opened up the keyboard and after some tests I figured out the problem is very likely to be in the keyboard, given that when the problem started I disconnected the keyboard from the note and then the problem stopped.

question: Where can I find a replacement keyboard for this model on the internet? I saw a guy selling one at Ebay for 60 bucks, is that the average price?

thanks again.
