Hi, I have a Compaq Presario 900Z. I started to have problems with the
keyboard about a month ago. Specifically, two rows of keys started to work
intermittently, they are "45RTFGVB".
At first, if I pressed the keys a few times or a little harder, it would
work fine. But recently it has gotten worse and worse. Now it hardly ever
works when I first turn on the computer.
The strange thing is, if I ever keep tapping at it, eventually it would
work. And it seems that once the keys are recognized, they start working as
if they don't have a problem at all.
I have tried replacing the keyboard, as well as installing all the patches
from Compaq, but nothing so far worked. I was told that it might be the
keyboard module on the motherboard, but I don't see how an electronic
problem would produce this type of behavior. It still seems to me that
something is loose somewhere, but I can't find it for the life of me.
Any speculation is appreciated, thanks.
