    Hi,

    I have a problem with my Toshiba Laptop keyboard. Satellite A200-192

    It starts typing Z or / or \ by itself. Sometimes it is ZZZZZZ (tens of Z) of \\\\\\\ (tens of \). For example if I try to type "Hello" it will type as "Hezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzlzzzzzzzzzlzzzo".

    Sometimes the up arrow or down arrow or pagedown is pressed continously.

    I have Norton Antivirus. I have run 10-20 antivirus, spyware and Malware tools. They could not find anything.

    In a forum they said that this might be a Keyboard hardware problem. The KEYBOARD is NOW ultimately shutdow....Presently i am using a external keyboard, but now and then the right click of the mouse is activated....

    Can you please let me know what should be done?

    A worn out or damaged internal pointing device (mouse pad) could also be causing the keyboard problem. This can be easily fixed by most any laptop repair center
