Hi,
Try cleaning your motherboard with isopropyl alcohol and give your keyboard a air blower for removal of dirt clogs.

Good luck.

SOURCE: Dell Laptop (Latitude C540/C640) period key problem

Hi Tcaponata!

May I suggest that you get an regular computer keyboard, and try it. There should be a plug in for it on your lappy. If not, you can pick up a USB one for $10. See if that solves the problem, and is a quick fix.
If that solves the issue, try getting a can of compressed air, with the little nozzle tube, and blow out around the key. The only part of the problem that really bothers me is the maco menu droping down on thier own. Either way, you can have the keyboard replaces a lot cheaper than getting a new laptop, although, if you are geekitized, :D, could be a good excuse to get the latest and greatest!

Good luck,

Why is there a delay when i type letters?

You are likely either infected with a virus running in the background and using a lot of resources or running out of disk space.
Start task manager Ctrl alt del and look to see what is using all the memory / processor speed and use anti virus.
Also remove startup program's in msconfig

Well it could be several things, not the least of things is radiated electrical noise. Seriously, I had several customers get hit with this problem. One test was to hold your hands just over the keyboard. If random characters appear, you sitting within the radius of a strong transformer.

Look around the area you are in, do you see any type of antenna nearby? If you do, rotate your lap top 90 degrees.

Also, the keyboard may be starting to fail. From your description I would suspect that the scan code for the key you pressed is not getting reported back to the CPU properly.

Replacing the keyboard on a Satellite is fairly straight forward. The replacement part from Toshiba only cost $35. and that included shipping.

My keyboard automatically typing letter y and apostrophe's..

Sounds like the keyboard might be bad. Run your fingers thru the keys in a sweepting motion and see if that stops the keyboard from continously typing keys on the screen. If that doesn't do it then its time for a replacement keyboard.
