He had forgotten to turn it off and something was pressing against the keyboard, so the key sequence kept on repeating. It was a number 3 if I remember correctly.

I sincerely hope that this happens to be your problem.

You won't believe it, but this is EXACTLY what just happened to me. I totally thought my MacBook Pro was on the fritz and was desperately casting about for a solution when I came upon your post. It was then when I saw that a pile of stuff had fallen on my wireless keyboard on the ground. I am such an idiot... but I'm glad I'm not alone. *:)

Thank you for relating your friend's story!! It saved me much aggravation!
