"Are you using a PS/2 to USB adapter of some sort?" "And the original desktop keyboard - no problems when it is connected to the desktop?" "The external keyboard started repeating the same keys when connected to the desktop after being used for testing on the laptop?"Ħ. Both are completely updated to the latest version available.ĥ. "What version of Windows 10 is installed on the laptop and what version is on the desktop?"īoth have Windows Home. I know it may be, but as I said, it does not seem so easy to replace since it is below the motherboard and hard disk, so you would have to uninstall almost everything just to get to the keyboard, which seems to be soldered to the MoBo.Ģ. "The keyboard may be replaceable if it is the source of the problem".
Ensure that the driver and Windows are updatedĬlick to expand.Thanks for your interest.ġ. Used windows' troubleshoot to resolve the issue. I have tried to uninstall the keyboard at device manager and then restart my laptop. Second questio: Is there anything that I can do to fix it? I suppose that a keyboard can not catch a virus, since it is a piece of hardware, but it is very strange that this keyboard, that was working ok before I plugged in to the laptop, suddenly started acting weird now that I tried it in my desktop. I tried to disable and uninstall the computer's keyboard but it is not possible, and changing the keyboard for a new one is very difficult because I would have to disarm the computer from the back, taking away the motherboard, hard disk and everything else just to get to the keyboard, which I suppose must be soldered.įirst question: Is there any fix I should try, or should I just throw away that computer?īut here comes the weirdest part: once I disconnected the external keyboard, I plugged it in in my desktop, replacing the original just to see if it was working, and now I find the same problem that I have in my laptop: some keys keep on repeating by themselves. Sometimes I can type without poblems but first I have to tap the ESC key, but in general, it is almost impossible to write anything. Then, I plugged in an external keyboard and it worked fine at first, but in a couple of days the problem came back, even typing with the external keyboard. Then the / key started typing by itself (like "///////////////////////////"), and then many of the keys started behaving the same, making it impossible to type anything.īesides this problem, some of the keys were not working at all. 
In the begining it was the F key (It started to write "fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff" and did not stop). After a year or so, suddenly some of the keys in the keyboard started to repeat by themselves.
