P Button not woprking. =(

[Cowboys]

Hey guys.I got a really big problem, my "p" button keeps spamming for no reason and when I press "o" it also spams, not sure how top fix it, or anything.

Would be much appreciated if you could tell me how top fix this problem.

It sounds like a dirty keyboard - does the issue persist if you use a different keyboard? If it turns out to not be a physical problem with the keyboard, I'd do a (non-McAffe or Norton) virus scan to be sure that it's not someone trying to be cute with you. Good luck!

Thanks, but it is a laptop so I cannot really do anything. =/

You can still plug in a USB keyboard to see if the problem is software or hardware.

Just take out the affected keys, and give them a wipe with something, and check theres no dirt underneath it.

I had a problem like this. On my Razer mouse i had a macro for COD4 that when i press the side button it reloads. Every time i clicked that button, and went into chat, it spammed RRRRRRRRRRRRR and forced me to restart.

For this i had to remove the macro, and use my keyboard for the macro instead.

Depending on your laptop, you can take out the keys, clean them and reseat them and they'll sometimes work.

However, you may also have one of those membranes under your keys, when they get moved slightly, you'll hit one key but it'll type on another. So you can take apart the keyboard, move the membrane around back to it's correct locations, then put it back together again.

It could also be that you've spilled something on your keyboard, even a small amount of water will cause shorts in the keyboard. One cagain, you'll have to take it all apart, clean it, and put it back together to fix it.

Then again, you may have a loose ribbon cable from your keyboard to your motherboard. You'll still have to take the laptop apart to fix it.

So, you can try fixing it yourself by taking the laptop apart, or you can take it to a repair shop and let them do it.


Unless you're running some sort of weird macro program. If so, stop it and see if that fixes it.

I've installed laptop keyboards, and it's not that difficult. Replacements can usually be found on Ebay for cheap. Of course this assumes that A) It is a faulty keyboard and not just dirt and B) The keyboard is readily available.
