    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 :)
