 How do I test my keyboard for sticky/broken keys?

 Test your keyboard by running the firmware diagnostics. See Cheat codes:
 http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Cheat_codes

 Holding the rocker (button below the speaker) to the left, while powering
 on, will get you into these diagnostics. The keyboard diagnostic will come
 up pretty soon, if you exit various earlier diagnostics by hitting the
 Escape key. This lets you see very easily what the computer is seeing as
 you press or release each key. Any "sticky" key would be visible in light
 blue on the screen as if a finger was still pressing it.

 The touchpad and stylus area can also be tested in the same diagnostic.

 Finally, if you've genuinely confirmed your keyboard is damaged, after
 multiple reboots -- check your warranty if you need to apply for a
 possible return:
