Is it just me?

The laptop I got (not sure of the model; dont know it off the top of my head but Ill be sure to check once I get home) 6 months ago is starting to show major problems with the keyboard, and the touch pad has stopped working completely.

When I type, sometimes it continues to type in a random area. For example:

"the dog has a shoe"
"the dos a shoeg ha"

I dont know if its something I'm hitting thats causing this (cant say the keyboard isnt cluttered) or if it's a problem I should have Geek squad or whatever, look at. I am using a USB mouse and keyboard, but I just like being able to use what the laptop itself provides me without having to use 3rd party gadgets as if my lappy is on life support. Weird, I know, but it isnt even a year old yet :c

turn off the laptop's numlock function. that's all i can think of

Just to point out, Geek Squad is crap. I've found things that they couldn't. (FYI I'm great with computers )


It could be an internal problem. The leads that go to the keys and touch pad might be damaged. I'd say try to contact the manufacturer about it.

that would happen to me on my laptop because my palm would sit on the bottom part of the computer where the trackpad is. there's a small space to the right of it, that when I would press down on it with my palm, would make a mouseclick, and i'd be typing random crap in the middle of words

If it isn't a year old it should be under warranty. You should get it repaired while you have a chance.
