HP Pavilion ZT1170 keyboard

Laptop problem #4.  Something happening more and more frequently is that certain keys on my keyboard will stop responding.  They are always the same keys as far as I can tell.  One is "e", one is the right hand shift, and another is the up arrow.  I will be typing something and notice that certain letters aren't appearing for some reason.  When I get frustrated and press the key a little more forcefully e's shoot across the screen and all of the formerly dysfunctional keys come back on.  Is it time to get a new laptop?

Is the machine under warranty? Do we get any clues about it? Do you have a real Windows CD to solve all of these problems assuming it is not hardware?

Man , this is the laptop from *censored*,,lol  personally i would start fresh, wipe everything out and start over. but if you dont want to go thru drastic measures, have you tried doing a system restore ? I forget, did you buy this system new ? I havent seen this many woes with a system at one time before.

My laptop is well out of warrantee.  I still have the restore disks, but I have restored it before and the problem still comes up.

To the shop or to eBay. That's the only solution I see.

I figured so, just wanted to see if anybody had heard of any solutions.  Thanks anyway.
