My guess is that your keyboard is crap. Easy way to find out is to plug in a usb keyboard and see if it works. I have a similar problem with an acer netbook. Also check if there's a firmware update for your laptop. I remember when I was researching it that they released a firmware update that fixed the problem for another model that had the same problem (because the other model was advertised as a gaming laptop). - -- Fernando Rodriguez -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJYFMBBAAoJEPbOFX/5UlwcSTYP/i75gNYULIS/ikHY3LFdHArM +pjhWLrC1oH+OeaknLNdVa6uJ9vnyXAo+iq/JEQqoiKj3pW2hSL+H0XN2KrW3qqN TisJTl5a98UnRXR4lugiQYU7otxLnnoV1EjxbcBBfGMMBKSUCRn/PVOUk0CadhcU rFkkTTsT6DVx8GJUS7j7Z5NavMK6Kh2QoPeNvijiN4HmkdmsUkjMvWSuda5BhDDR 2hVFBn/3EiPafYuCoDE7oo8lY/ot1ClaVQioRZQWqbwQsmO9ErZSm4ZE6uCrOacK 7Vf+RkFlOlkk33W2mJQK3rGRRfl40Fd47aFd1NxbrZaEtPo9dIrIa8KfcDkLQ4+C 352eAj6PaZev98sQnDFSBXaQXEZ6+OZyJL8VQRvSG6q2ScjuOYZLQnUTxcjHc8jM /lRrWgudP2tcpdUyFzAwjmK0L1NQid/gKMO5fy9p62uXGDQMO7Wh0GRN8qcmsDSM IbghgvQg+d0zmUgrJ96EVfBpV3aNpJe08f1hQDXGgi5Ps3QEnDww40x0SBSOncPJ dCIrnHhm2g1LEp4jlr5PLJPedlksMWzqO/W3S19+myAZwM7M969Qw4v09/0Ey3DY r7ycXcynpGv/VtzFSd9tjHANZQK9cpnnyR3Dy2uKOLI+VjHLyVxB5QR0HnpLKB8Z t7luh+O8KziykhfLm7HZ =xy1T -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
