Wierd Problem, Help Please!

laoyoungin · 12-20-2008, 09:39 PM

Last night I was typing fine and then all of a sudden I try to type something and it types backwards so I was like Then I noticed that my laptop was acting as if I were pushing the left over repeatedly by itself. I put my cursor in the url address and noticed it going scrolling left. So I had to hold the power button to turn it off because it kept going left by itself and I wasn't able to click shut down.

So today I had my laptop on all day and it happens again just about an hour ago, same problem. I did the same thing.

I turn on my computer and its working fine but 10 minutes later now its acting as if I'm pushing right repeatedly. Its been fine for about 30 minutes now.

Has anyone ever had this problem and can help? Or can anyone help me out?

Idk why but its randomly been happening during the night time for the past 2 days.

*Note* I'm not computer very computer smart, so if you have any ideas to me, can you please break them down into simpler terms. Thanks

Also, my keys aren't messed up or sticky. I popped out my keys and nothing seems wrong with them.

I don't know why my post was deleted from here, but I have the same problem, and I'm wondering if anyone figured it out.

Managed to get the task manager running during the problem, and nothing was running hot.

It's the same problem, so it's not really hijacking a thread. No one had responded on the thread for several months so I figured I should ask.

Funny, I know how to check my messages, and I haven't received any. So someone should learn how to send one first.

sent another pm
pm me if you don't receive it
