Question posted by dpr4473 on January 20th, 2011
Keyboard Problems
The BACKSPACE and P keys (and a few other keys in that area of the keyboard) of my Toshiba Satellite L505-S5990 sporadically fail to work.
This computer is used by only me, and has never been abused or the had anything spilled or sprayed onto it.
This problem started out of the blue a couple weeks ago and has been ongoing since. Sometimes a system restart fixes it for a while but it always returns.
What are my options for fixing this?
