Multiple Keys "Presses" with one Keystroke - Austneal - 05-18-2011
I've got a Toshiba Tecra M7 laptop, and when I press certain keys it acts like multiple keys are being pressed. For instance, when the E key is pressed, the 3 key is "pressed" as well (so the outcome is 3e, no matter if I press 3 or E). I've tried blowing out the keyboard, and even removing it and cleaning the contacts. Should I order a replacement keyboard, or could there be something else wrong?

Try reinstalling any drivers you have for it.

I've tried, still does it...

Is any other key malfunctioning? If not, I would lean towards a replacement keyboard.

Yes, and they're all upper row buttons.

This won't work. It's like the 2 keys are stuck together.

Looks like it indeed is a hardware error. How long have you had this laptop?

About a year. I suspected the keyboard itself until I read about someone having the same issue. The replaced the keyboard and it didn't solve the problem. I'm just trying to figure out what else it could be before investing $29 in a replacement keyboard.

You need to register, it's the official Toshiba support community.
They're good and have helped me in the past.

Take the key off your keyboard and press the actual button. Is the issue fixed?
