It's still work but so slow and have to put 4-5 times.
Sometimes it's disappear when I restore my windows some previous days ago, but happen again after half an hour working.

Hi Everybody,
I have given the laptop to the service centre and they have replaced the keyboard and everything is fine....for desktop it's rather much easy to check with new keyboard.

Thanks

I bought a brand new dell a few weeks ago, and the control key randomly is hot so that when I press t in the internet browser for example it opens a new tab. It is really frustrating especially when it deletes things or exits from things.

Dell sent me a new keyboard, and I switched it and thought all of my problems would go away, but it still does the same thing. I am probably going to send the computer back to dell, but any ideas as to how to fix it?

I just encountered this for the first time. CTRL+C & CTRL+V would not copy and paste. I could see one burning out or something, but both control keys are not working. Tried a reboot and it didn't help.

I have a ps2 mouse and keyboard, both plugged into a USB adapter. Just unplugged the USB adapter and replugged it in and the keys work normal again. Seems odd that resetting the USB connection resolved it and a restart would not have fixed it, but at least it was a simple fix. Hope that helps someone else.
