The dog spilled tea into the keyboard. I cleaned it, dried it and then replaced it. I bought a new keyboard from Sony and installed it -- same behavior as the original: About 80% of the letters work fine but the other 20% type double letters: when you hit the Q it types QW, and so on.
Meanwhile the computer works perfectly otherwise: when I use a wireless keyboard it operates like new.
But here's the strange thing. After leaving it aside for about two months, I turned it on just to fool around and it worked! NO double letters, just perfect.
Now it has reverted back to typing double letters again.
I really like the computer for some reason, it just feels good to me. Any ideas? I've cleaned the contacts inside the ribbon holder with solvent and some thick clean paper, blown them out, let dry, etc. And because it went back to working once before, its really hard to give up and chuck it.
Bless you for any help!
