For some reason the A key on my keyboard keeps repeating after I touch it, for example, I touched it once quickly and this is whaaaat haaaappens. What do I need to do to fix this problem?

Hello Roba

Normally some liquid or other material has become lodged behind the keys and is keeping the membrane behind the keys stuck down on the electric board inside the keyboard, or liquid is present and when you press the A key the liquid keeps the circuit alive and so repeats itself

1 If it is loose material, shake keyboard vigoursly to dislodge, even hoover it

2 If Liquid, unplug and leave somewhere warm to dry over night

3. Take keyboard apart and clean problem area - difficult if you don't like fiddly jobs

4. Buy a new keyboard

5. Avoid using A's :)
