Ok so this  past week i have been having issue with my notebook keyboard. when i press lets say "a" key and keep pressing it, ill randomly press other keys ex:"aaa,aajakaa6aaa aa" and if you hold the letter down it wont spam the letter like ex: "aaaaaaa".

also holding delete button wont delete continually. and it also would hit other keys. i did a reinstall of windows, deleted drivers, updated drivers, ran hardware tests in the bios, changed out the keyboard for a new keyboard and even side loaded ubuntu to see if the issue still presist and it does. at this point im lost as to what it can be. i know if i use a external keyboard i have no issues.

@Not2Envy320 Did you check if the issue occurs on an external keyboard?

While you respond to that, here's what you need to do:

 

I recommend you attempt the below steps to identify the cause of the failure and resolve it accordingly:

  • Try changing the keyboard layout/language and check if it works: Click here for steps.
  • Clean the keyboard with compressed air (blow compressed air in the gaps between keys). This removes some lint and dust. 
  • Shut down the laptop, remove the battery and cable for a moment, press and hold the start button for 60 seconds
  • Replace the battery, restart the notebook,
  • if the issue persists, perform an interactive hardware test on the keyboard using the steps mentioned on this link: Click here (look under "Running Component Tests > Keyboard test").
