5. Have you cleaned your keyboard recently?

It's amazing how much crud can build up under the keys and can eventually cause trouble.

7. Maybe something has gotten wedged underneath? (My laptop occasionally* falls

prey to potato chip crumbs and a variety of other food scraps). Do you have some compressed air to try and blow any obstructions out of the keyboard? Or turn it upside down and give a good but not overly-violent shake. Sometimes I try to work the corner of a piece of paper around and under the edges of the keys, but I'm not sure that's really best/recommended practice. You may also be able to remove the keys for cleaning, depending on the model.


* By "occasionally," I mean pretty much every day!

8. I bought a cheap usb keyboard.

I will get a few more years out of this laptop.
