Hi everyone. Is it possible that laptop overheating causes keyboard problems. This sounds awkward, but my problem is next:
When I turn my laptop on it performs without any problems for 10 minutes, until it gets hot. I don't mean hot in terms that it's housing is hot, I just notice on the fan that air is hotter. After that my keyboard goes crazy. F12 and esc don't respond, and when I run browser, console is firing on almost every third button pressed(by default called on F12). When I enter terminal it keeps printing sing ~ which is also printed by pressing F12. Restarting my laptop doesn't make any difference, it only stops acting this crazy when I shut it down, and leave it for half an hour. It's not an OS error because I used Win 7 and had that problem. Now I'm on dual boot Linux Mint and Ubuntu and both have the same problem. Memtest86+ didn't show any RAM problems. Chkdsk showed also no sing of problems. So what could it be, any ideas? Maybe motherboard problems? I have no clue... I'm currently using Toshiba C855:
-Intel i3 2348m 2x2,30GHz
-4GB RAM
-500HDD
 
Solution
You wanna replace whole notebook keyboard? Btw. did You try to repaste the notebook? And clean it up, maybe get new fan? Sounds cheaper to me.
