I've got a hp pavillion 4300, and the keyboard will miss random
keys. For example if I spell a word the first time, it might be
missing the 2nd letter, if I erase it and spell it again it might be
missing the 3rd. It is random on the letter that misses, and random on
a sequence of misses (for example, it isn't every other or every third
etc). I reformatted the computer and purchased a NEW keyboard, but
that didn't solve the problem. Aside from replacing the entire
motherboard (which is EXPENSIVE in laptops), are there any other
things that could be checked? Thanks ahead of time!!!!
