this could be that your keyboard has dust etc in side it. so you need to try and clean it out by, using compressed air to get underneath the keys also get a cotton bud or something similar to clean any stickiness off the actual buttons. if this does not work then it is probably a fault with your computer and you should try taking it back to where you got it from if it is under warrenty.
Toshiba keyboard problems
I have a toshiba satelite l300D but my keyboard is playing up, it seems certain letters are linked so for example when I press the p key on my keyboard pk appears onscreen, and when i type k, pk appears onscreen.
This happens with the following keys:
I appears as -i onscreen, and - key shows as -i
, appears as ,[ and vice versa
space bars makes my browser bar dissapear and reappear
0 shows as 80 onscreen and 8 as 80
Can you help please?

not sure its dust as the problems are not 'random' but have cleaned -it and it didnt offer a solution, unfortunately the laptops no longer covered by warranty. thanks anyway
hi haynes86 welcome to tsf,
hook up a usb keyboard see if it does the same thing. if thats ok i would start by taking keyboard out and re-seat the cable. be careful not to break the zif connector

thanks for the reply i have tried an unsucessful attempt to use an external keyboard but unfortunately this didnt solve the problem
so you stated you hooked up a usb keyboard and it did the same thing? or the keyboard did not work at all?
The usb keyboard did the same thing...Would it be worth restoring the laptop to factory sett-ings? Thanks again for your help
goto device manager and uninstall the keyboard and reboot. It will install driver upon startup.
No unfotunately the problem still persists. :upset:
Sorry meant to say tri-ed it but problem still persists...
