Yes, that's what they did, and I've now got a new keyboard. But then the
problem reappeared. Or it may never have actually gone away, bearing in mind
that it's only occasional.

Yes. Totally agree. However, it's a pain for me to be without it (and it's
not a major problem to me as I don't re-boot very often). If I could (with
your aid) try to find a solution then we'd all be happy. Question is, is it
hardware or software? When I told them about the problem recurring they
muttered something about an O/S reinstall. This guts me because of all the
other software I'll have to put back on. And even then I won't know whether
this will actually cure it.
