When I press the middle keys(asdf...) or the number line (1234...)on the keyboard of our MacBook it produces two characters - one number and one letter - instead of just the correct one. The characters produced on both lines are identical and look like this: a1s2d3f4g5h6j7k8l9 a1s2d3f4g5h6j7k8l9. Can anything be done? It is driving me nuts!
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.4)
Hey siirilee,
Thanks for the question. The following article may help to resolve your issue. You may want to refer to the "Some keys don't work as expected" section:
One or more keys on the keyboard do not respond

Thanks,

When I use the keyboard viewer, all the keys I press light up and the additional character lights up too. For instance, when I press "a", both "a" and "1" light up in tandem and are printed on the screen, similarly when I press the "1", both the "a" and the "1" again light up in tandem with the "a" first. It is that way through the number 9 and the letter L in the number line and the middle row of keys. I am thinking perhaps there is a short somewhere or a crossed connection.
Try an external keyboard, wireless or usb. If it works right, your internal keyboard is damaged and needs repair or replacement.
