Hey! I have a Sony desktop PCV-W2/G - the one with the flip down keyboard. It is over 4 years old, and has just developed a fault with the keyboard. When typing, pressing some of the buttons causing neighbouring, or completely random buttons to also be typed, for example:

• a types as a;
• l types as ls
• p causes the S-key for Mail to be pressed, opening up a new window every time - very irritating!
• q causes tab to be pressed
• s types as ls
• x types as zx
• z types as zx
• ; types as a;
• 1 types as `1
• ! types as ¬!
• the left and down arrow keys are both pressed when either is pressed

etc!

Is this simply down to dust build up or something more worrying?

Is there anything I can do about this?

I am not sure if I can simply remove the keys in question and clean them, as this keyboard is more like a laptop keyboard than a traditional desktop model, and is therefore a bit more complicated!

Any feedback or suggestions will be gratefully received!

Thank you!

clean the keyboard, remove the screw and other stuff from the keyboard then reassemble it.
