| 784299 | 2009-06-21 06:59:00 | Hi team I have a laptop where only some the keys arent working. It is pretty hit and miss sometimes the keys work sometimes not having to type this using the onscreen keyboard. keys not working are h, i, o, space bar and others, but as I said, sometines they work ans sometimes not -is this some malware or other? Any help would be help. Cheers Al | arko (9074) | ||
