[Bug 974455] Re: Lenovo u300s 't' key sends "Hiragana-Katana"

Thanks Tim! Last week my story became even more absurd. On Tuesday my U300s returned from the Lenovo service center (in NL that's Medion). This might have been its fourth or fifth trip there. They replaced the keyboard and upgraded the BIOS (which I found surprising since it already had the latest

Issue is not solved after all. My T-key is failing again. I now know how one can reproduce it: While running on battery, press Fn+Alt+F2 (to enter a command in gnome-shell). That's all it takes, and it is totally in line with what I first encountered. To make it worse, I can't repair it beca

I am going to try to do the same thing as Takashi Kawashima (coolshades) did. That will be a tricky thing since I've blown away the windows- partition but if I manage to do it I will post the results here. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is sub

In the evening of the same day that I got my U300s the 't' key started sending "Hiragana-Katana". Luckily I was able return this laptop and I got a brand new one. A week after I got that one, its "delete" key started acting up. It thinks it's "F10" now. The situation is really similar to what Alex
