[olpc-help] Keyboard issues - stuck keys, keys registering erroneously

It seems to be the CTRL key for mine, acts like it is constantly stuck on but repeated presses sometimes get it to work/come unstuck again (although it seems to be getting far worse very quickly). I have reflashed it several times and retried the diagnostic but you can always clearly see the ctrl key flashing on and off when other keys are pressed - so basically it is screwed. I don't get why this problem has just started to manifest itself now though - the thing was fine last night when i turned it off and just played up from the moment i turned it on today.

I will phone up support tomorrow and see what they say. It is pretty worrying for me though as i specifically bought this laptop to take travelling (leave in two months) because of its ruggedness but it hasn't even left the house yet and is already broken!
