Help, i've got a dell latitude cpx and the keyboad is really messsed up. You see, just like that i get a repeat of the s. It's usually an n or m or other keys, not all of them do it but it doesns't happen all the time, like that last n. Also, the caps key doesn't make caps all the time. I have to press it hard but that doesn't make sense to me. Can anyone give suggestions.

Jump to PostI would replace the keyboard.
They are darn near impossible to clean.
It almost sounds like something liquid got in there. Even liquid cleaners can really mess with a keyboard.
Jump to Postunless you are a qualified laptop techie dont even think about it. take it down to your neares computer store pronto.
Jump to PostYou can follow janines advice which would be the sure bet or if your cheap do what "Thong_inspector" said and buy a new desktop keyboard if your notebook has a ps/2 port.
