Wangwana na wengineo… my laptop, a several years old Samsung running windows 7, keeps spamming the letter 'r, so I cant really type anything else. Sometimes it stops spamming r, but then you cannot type r. The keyboard is integrated with the outer cover so replacing it is not worth it… I have tried the following
Uninstalled the keyboard drivers and restarted the laptop.
Disabled the keyboard and tried the onscreen keyboard
Scanned for viruses and malware
Shida bado iko…any ideas?
Ng’oa hiyo key ya r and make sure hakuna uchafu underneath that could be making it get stuck.If that is not the issue then it must be a problem with tbe hardware drivers.You can test this part by using an external keyboard. Ikishindikana ujuwe makosa ulifanya ni kununua laptop ya samsung.
That’s a stuck key, somehow it retains its pressed status once you lift your finger off the key. @upepo has the right solution for you. Lift off the keyboard and give it a thorough cleaning. You could also consider swapping the ‘r’ key with a less used key.
I had the same issue sometime back and it was the same latter r. Why don’t you backup your files and format the machine maybe it will solve the issue. I don’t rem what I did but sikununua keyboard ingine
