    Keyboard typing random letters

    Hi all,
    I own an asus x50n laptop, recently the laptop has had a new keyboard replaced by asus technicians because it had something spilt on it and keys started typing random letters when pressed. For example the letter E would produce E7T9S but then it went away and came back. Anyway laptop was sent off for repair and came back and had the same problem so I then sent it off again and they said there was nothing wrong with it but some options had been changed but did not tell me which ones, so when the laptop came back again it worked ok and then suddenly went back to typing random letters. Anyone any ideas of what the problem is.
    Many thanks
    Mike

    Sounds like a hardware error. Maybe the keyboard is a piece of crap and it's not encoding the letters right. If you have an external keyboard available, try that, and if the problem doesn't happen anymore, then you probably have a bad laptop keyboard. I think you should try to run Ad-Aware or try to do a full-scan on your machine.
