The fix has been released! tinyurl.com --- Website mentioned in the video: virkkunen.net Other forum posts talking about the problem: whrl.pl & whrl.pl Some HP Mini netbook models (5102 & 5103) have been shipped with a keyboard bug in either the BIOS firmware, or keyboard controller firmware. The keyboard bug causes phantom keystrokes to be sent to the system when different combinations of keys are typed quickly. Typing the "c", "d" and space bar keys quickly will send the Enter key to the system. Other combinations that send the Enter key are: "a", "z", space bar "s", "x", space bar "f", "v", space bar Typing the "d", "f" and "t" keys quickly cause the system to send the F3 key - or lower the screen brightness if the "Fn always on" function is active in BIOS. Typing the "2", "6" and "7" keys quickly cause the system to send the F5 key - or or send the computer into stand-by if the "Fn always on" function is active in BIOS. Note that these keyboard bugs occur in any operating system, and even when in the BIOS setup menus.
