i recently got something jammed under my k key, i removed it, and suddenly it would no longer function. I also noticed that in games (World of warcraft for example) i could no longer be pressing the w key to move forward, and use space to jump. I can use the space bar to jump, and THEN use the w key, but not together. It seems to be the same with the e key. Also, the m key has to be pressed harder. I don't know why it's doing this. I didn't force anything, i just lightly pushed the debris out from under the key. Also, certainly nothing that would affect other keys. The odd thing is, whenever i hibernate, or shut down, and then boot it up, if there is a text box, or something, it will constantly type the letter k, like it's stuck, usually until i hit another key. I looked into reinstalling software, but could not find anything.
The computer is an Acer Aspire 4530 laptop running vista home premium 32 bit. I bought it less than a year ago, and it's worked well until this. I may have to send it in on warranty, but i want to exhaust my options before i send it off for a possibly long time. I use it every day, so if i can fix it myself, that would be best. Any ideas, or suggestions would be apreciated. I will also include DX diag just in case, and please let me know if you need any more information
