Greetings fellow techists,
I've been having some issues with my laptop keyboard of late, and I would appreciate your input if you have a few mins to spare. I'll break it down to keep it simple:
Laptop: DELL XPS 17 L702X, bought in early 2011. So now a good 5yrs+ old. In great condition. Has not suffered from any major issues since purchase.
Issue: Some keys have begun not responding at times. Either whilst doing capitals or not. Then when functionality returns (approx 5-10s later) keyboard often double types. When backspacing to correct, it double backspaces. Issue stops for a short period, back to normal, and then picks up again at any given time. Keys include T, Backspace, N. Perhaps even others.
Appreciate any advice. I have a sneaking feeling the keyboard needs replacing. No virus or malware detected by AVG and Malwarebytes.
Thanking you in advance,
Yorick
