I have a very old HP laptop - HP Omnibook 6100. Very old but working fine, except for an intermittant keyboard issue where without my pressing anything a key will either start repeating itself - like !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
or not work. The fault also seems to vary as to which keys it affects. I have been into the inner workings of the keyboard to clean under the keys, but it has made no difference, and I also used a key-remapping program, but as the issue seems to jump keys, it isnt a lot of use. Oh and I did massive virus checks. Nothing.
Is there any way I can fix this issue so that I can use it for typing and taking to Uni again? Or should I sell it for spares?
Also, if I do decide to sell it for spares, what is the best way to wipe all my data off first (for security reasons, and copyright as I have done novel and scriptwriting and postgrad research work on it) I would like to leave the operating system on there though...
any advice on these points would be most welcome.
