MacBook Keyboard Issue

[General Disarray]

Hi

I was wondering if anyone knew anything about this, I have a macbook 2.1ghz and when I type certain keys, it also enters another key.

For example: =here =is =what =happens =when =i'm =typing =without =going =back =and =deleting =the =equals =that =the =spacebar =puts =in

and when i hold the space bar down: ==============

When I press backspace, it also turns the volume up as well as deletes. Pressing down, also moves up, so navigation with the arrow keys is impossible. I tried taking the keys off but there is nothing unusual and nothing stuck in them, i also repaired and verified the disk and this issue also occurs in the leopard setup dvd so it is not install related

does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Sounds like a hardware problem. Is there an Apple store near you?

That's kinda funny, actually. :p So, the spacebar puts in a space and an equals sign? That's probably a hardware problem.

It happened about 4 days ago (cmd key was always down - this means you cant type anything) then stopped and now its started again with different keys

Yea theres an apple store but i dont have apple care, the laptop is about 11 months old

It was at the start, until i restarted and that didn't fix it lol

If it's 11 months old, it's still under warranty - therefore I'd suggest phoning them or going to your nearest Apple store before it hits it's first birthday.

Ugh your unit has a 1 year warranty. Take it to the Apple store to get it repaired under mfg warranty!

Cant you post it to them instead of bringing it to a store?
