I have a Compaq laptop with a new problem. Occasionally, in the middle of typing a document or an email, the cursor suddenly jumps to an earlier part of the document. It's very random, occurs within all word programs such as Microsoft Word, wordpad, etc. I did attach an external keyboard and didn't appear to have the problem. Is there possibly some function key or shortcut key that's locked in by mistake causing this? Or, is the keyboard on the laptop simply malfunctioning because it's bad. If so, can laptop keyboards be replaced?

Maybe the touchpad is causing the jumps; a couple of taps with a shirtsleeve button might redirect the cursor.. just a thought.
