It seems the "enter" key is pressed down according to the system during startup. One way I found out is to reset BIOS to factory settings. my problem was a sticky shift key. used software to disable it once Im logged in. Donno if it will work for you too.

One of the keys on the keyboard is "stuck" in the "down" position, so that it keeps sending the same character. Quickly press/release each key, several times, to see if you can "unstuck" that key. Or, replace the keyboard.

SOURCE: Error 0210: Stuck Key 01

This is a system board POST/BIOS error code (nothing todo with Windows). The ERROR 210: is a standard POST (Power On Self Test) errormessage that indicates an error with the keyboard. The error condition is thata keyboard scan code was received from the keyboard when none was expected,after the keyboard was reset. If this occurs most of the time when you power on yoursystem, then it indicates that a key is sticking down or the key mechanical orelectrical parts are broken. Sometimes blowing out and cleaning out around thekeys will resolve this problem. Otherwise, you need to replace your keyboardwith a new (or at least a working) one.

SOURCE: error 0210: stuck key 01

I assume its a laptop. laptops some times get stuck keys, meaning one of the keys has not fully released after it was depressed. I recommend getting some compressed air in a can and give it a good cleaning. there might be something stopping git from popping back up. then give the keys a little work out. just mash the keys a bit. then turn it back on. if you still have an error, then you might want to consider replacing the keyboard. if you don't, it will not harm you pc in anyway...good luck

SOURCE: ERROR CODE "0210:KEY STUCK 39

I got the 0210 stuck key error on a Lenovo Thinkpad T61, pc would not bootup, made sure keyboard was connected and cleaned with aircan and then went into bios and via F1 on startup, then went to CONFIG then to Keyboard/Mouse then I disabled the TrackPoint. Boots up fine now but the red nipple mouse is disabled due to action mentioned above. Looks like a warranty fix for Lenovo since this is a newer laptop. If it was out of warranty i would just skip using it and leave it disabled. The trackpad works fine.

Error 0210 stuck key 69 can someone tell me what it is

My guess is it is a programming glitch of the ALT key correctiable by BIOS modification rather than physically addressing. Such fixes are tried at your own peril and without guarantee of working (or even the computer working) after such.

That said, I would be awfully tempted to try an alternative keyboard (a rather dodgy idea if it is a laptop).

Find a replacement keyboard for your model online, and/or have a local computer shop install it (or order and install it) for you.
