My Laptop Keyboard!
As you know, I'm having trouble with my keyboard; I finally called the best IT person ever! Robert is a wiry fellow, who only knows two speeds, race or sleep. He's helpful and doesn't mind teaching me a thing or two. He worked on the computers and software at the company I retired from. My problem was that the "Help Menu" kept popping up, tabbed out to 30+ tabs. I couldn't continue using my laptop, so I slammed the lid closed, and I came so close to throwing it against the wall; it has been a lemon from the day I bought it and I thought I would have to buy a new one. But before I replaced it, I called Robert to check it out to be sure there wasn't a virus.
I learned a few things: It wasn't a virus, but stuck keys and he could replace the keyboard frame! Lastly, never buy a computer with Intel i3; that's why I received such a good deal, HP was having problems with that series, and Robert and I personally feel that they wanted to get rid of them before announcing they discontinuing making the series!
I did have to go online to order a keyboard frame, which cost $32.99 (this included shipping), this definitely beat the $400.00+ to purchase a new computer. Hopefully by Tuesday, it will be fixed.

Always a good idea to consult an expert where computers are concerned. I consult my son who is my resident geek.
You are fortunate to have a go to computer person. I usually have to figure things out on my own (thank you internet help and YouTube how-to videos), but I'd likely save a lot of time and worry if I had a good I.T. person to give me advice. Glad you found a relatively easy solution to your problem.
Computer stuff can get so frustrating and expensive.
