I have a laptop which irritates me to no end, even as I am
typing now.
Sometimes the laptop will act as though it has the 'Ctrl' key
held down, even though I have plucked out both the Ctrl keys from
the laptop keyboard (which, btw, has about 15 other keys not
working so I'm using a USB keyboard now). When the Ctrl button is
held down the world turns over. I can't scroll, type, or even open
folders normally. This 'condition' will stay there until I press
the remnants of my right Ctrl key of the laptop keyboard, then the
left Ctrl key of the USB keyboard. However it doesn't go away
forever and during bad spells it returns on average over
20 times per minute. (Today is especially bad)
I turned on this function at the control panel/mouse which shows
where the cursor is when Ctrl button is pressed, so that I know
when the 'condition' occurs. When big rings start spamming my
screen I start bashing keyboards. (not literally). The rings appear
really quickly, faster than any human being spamming 4 Ctrl keys at
continuously, so I believe it has little to do with the keyboard
itself.
Is the laptop screwed? (because it has many other problems as
well)
