How to unstick a key on keyboard - HP Pavilion dv1000 Notebook

Key switch is not good - just get a another key board.

get a can of compressed air and spray under the key board, if this continues to be a issue replace the keyboard a replacement can be found on ebay for as little as $20

Make sure no key next to it is causing it because the keys are stuck together. Hit the q key repeatedly to unstick it.

It may be time for a new keyboard.

look on ebay for a new keyboard. Just put Dell Inspiron 1100 Keyboard in the search box.

It looks as if your function (fn) key has jammed. I would carefully pull up on the key to try and get it to unstick. If you can't do it with your fingers, do it carefully with a small screwdriver.

Your keyboard (or keyboard controller or ribbon cable inside the laptop) is sending a signal to the board that a key's pressed. Press each key down and see if any of them 'unstick'. If none of them unstick, prepare to send it back in for repair.

Either the "blue" coloured 'FN' is _stuck_ in the "down" position, or you have accidentally activated the "Sticky Keys" Windows "accessibility" tool.

With "Sticky Keys", you press keys just _one_ at a time, e.g., CTRL then ALT then DELETE instead of pressing multiple keys (SHIFT and '8') at the same time.

Restart, in order to turn-off "Sticky Keys".

Or, "exercise" the 'FN' key, until it "unsticks" itself.

The blue-coloured 'fn' key must be "stuck" in the "down" position. Tap it, a few times, to "unstick" it.

Or, replace the keyboard.

If you are getting a lot of = character along with the beeping, this indicates you have a stuck = key and the beeping sound is the keyboard buffer is swamped with the = character. If you can't unstick this key, then you need to replace the keyboard.

Sounds like there may be keys on the keyboard getting stuck or keys that went bad. Move your hand over all the keys and see if you can feel any of them that are slightly pressed in. If not then just move your hands over all the keys and it may unstick any of the keys that aren't all the way up by chance.

If both of these methods fail then they keyboard is bad and would need to be replaced.

Sounds like may be a stuck key on your keyboard, try unplugging keyboard long enough to see if it continues. If it turns out to be keyboard, try firmly (bang) each of the following keys several times: [Command] [Alt] left [Alt] right [Tab] [O]. Perhaps the function keys as well. I have had this "unstick" the problematic key before on different keyboards. Reconnect keyboard and see if that helps.
