A couple of observations: 1) On my Sony Vaios at least, they plan for the keyboard to be removed for access and cleaning. 3-5 screws on the base are removed with a Jeweller's screwdriver and then the keyboard lifts up at the back. The clip holding the flat plastic cable into the connector on the circuit- board can be flipped up with a thumb-nail and the keyboard removes.
2) I had a recent weird experience that was keyboard-related in an oblique way. I usually alter the BIOS typematic rate settings so the repeat-rate is as high as possible. This usually means it goes from 4/second to 30/second. On one system it took me over 6 months to discover it was the reason that the Grub countdown timer ran about 8 times too fast - I'd had to increase the timeout to 200 to have 5 real seconds to press Escape! So, with that in mind is there anything in the BIOS settings that isn't default, or could conceivably relate to keyboard, including interrupt settings? -- keyboard strokes registered repeatedly or not registered at all https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/65249 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
