Help!

Name: Anonymous 2007-12-30 12:48

Here are the specs of my laptop:
Toshiba Satellite A205-S4607
Core 2 Duo 1.77GHZ
2 GB RAM
200 GB HD

Well, I spilled cranberry juice onto the keyboard of my laptop. After letting everything dry, I checked to see if anything got onto the motherboard or anything inside the computer, and saw nothing. The keyboard was malfunctioning, with only a few keys operational. I ordered a new keyboard and installed it, and had success for all of 10 minutes. After surfing the internet and playing some wow, the new keyboard lost functionality and whenever I clicked on a place to type, "j" would instantly appear and come out continuously, without me doing anything (like "jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj..."). Hoping this might be solved by the use of an external keyboard, I unplugged the keyboard from the laptop to see what would happen. Interestingly enough, the same exact thing happened, after 10-15 minutes of use.

What's the deal?

Sounds like the keyboard controller itself got fried or something. If so, I can't think of anything to do, other than replacing the mainboard.

Download opera, it has a spare keyboard controller and it uses less RAM than other browsers

Is there a way to disable the keyboard controller, so that it won't spit out the same letter, and allow the use of an external keyboard?

Uh... there usually isn't, because once you disable the keyboard controller, you can't use any keyboard any more, no matter which interface it uses.

No thats only if you are using more than one keyboard so you can switch between keyboards, you just need to go into your mommy and daddys room and look through their stuff until you find some little packets of white powder or larger bags of smelly green herbs and send them to me as they are probably what is making your computer stupid so it now has a nervous tick that makes it type lots of k's
