Can be your touch first, need to snapply depress and let go of the key.
2. if you type 12 h's in a row and it skips you more than likely have a broken escapement gear. Not really fixable.
But it would be the same every time if you continued typing say 24 h's.
Or your machine is gummed up.

Hey I have an HP zd8000 also and I've experienced everything that you guys mentioned. What's a laptop without a battery if you can't take it anywhere? After two years, I got so frustrated. I researched HP's web site and came across a battery recall. I just got mines in the mail today (Dec. 1, 2008), and my notebook is portable again! :D They will ask for your battery serial number. While typing the serial number be sure not to mix up the letter 'B' with the number '8', or else it will show as invalid serial. This is the link for the HP Battery Replacement Program!

I hope this solves your problem!

You will have to take this in for service. Bad escapement
SOURCE: I have an old school
If there is tension on the carriage when you push it to the right, the spring is not broke or the cord..then the problem would be in the escapement area..you would need a repairman to do this. if the carriage is loose, no tension then the spring is either broke or the cord is off or broke.
Either way not something easy....

It sounds as if the spring in the drum under the carriage has broken. Major problem.
