Hi

I bought dell latitude laptop.

At the beginning everything was all right but after some time my
keyboard acted strangely. Sometimes when I pushed a button, it wrote 2
or more letters.

I changed keyboard but it happens again.

Did anyone have the same problem? What is wrong? and how can I repair it?

Thx for all answers.

oen.

Go to Start / Control Panel / Keyboard & change the repeat rate to a lower
setting.

There is another problem I`ve forgotten to mention:
sometimes when I press button it is pushed twice or more but sometimes
is does not react at all.

For sure with software everything is ok (btw it`s linux).

Thanks

Are cooling fans kicking in at the same time that you have keyboard
problems?

Not really, but I noticed that when I "open" my laptop and remove the
keyboard and put it again then it works all right but after a while
(especially when bottom is warm) it happens again.

It's all to do with the Dell 8I K key problem try reseating the keyboard 1st
failing that replace it
