Looks like this group has attracted another nutter in Mr Holmes! I would also suggest investigating the possibility of water in the keyboard causing a bad contact. Putting the keyboard, or whole laptop somewhere warm and dry for 24 hours. Perhaps even point a hair-dryer at the keyboard for 5 mintues. | |||||||||||||

Good idea.

Bad idea unless you want the OP to have a Gaudi architecture style keyboard.

OK, the exact details of the suggestion were impossible, but people are surely sensible enough to just unplug the keyboard??? This is easy, even with a laptop - you suggest it yourself in the last line of this post! >> I would also suggest investigating the possibility of water in the

> keyboard. Another literal interpretation. I didn't mean put the hair-dryer on its hottest setting and hold it ON the keyboard. Either switch the hair dryer to warm or cold, or hold it at least 6 inches from the keys - I didn't mean stick a red hot hair dryer directly on the keyboard. Any common sense would tell you that an attempt to melt the keys won't actually help the problem! > Personally I'd pop the keyboard out and try an external one.

Thanks for clearing that out, that is exactly what I meant. I've /never/ seen a computer that had a BIOS setting to disable the keyboard. On the other hand, what ramcneilly@gmail.cum probably wanted to mention was the setting "halt on all errors, but keyboard". But then again, that setting is only useful for a system that doesn't require keyboard input and can be (re)booted without a keyboard connected. Like a server which can be configured by remote administration. If he wanted to mention that, he, well, had to mention that properly. Conclusion: ramcneilly@gmail.cum is a total fuckwit and I was right laughing at his daft reply. And I was right laughing at GT, too. -- <snip>
