"+" problems!!!

deepak.krishnan · 09-09-2006, 10:03 PM

Hello friends,
Whenever I start my computer and start typing in something, "+" sign starts coming by its own for a number of times. I thought that it might be some sort of prank and tried to track it using avast antivirus , but ended up with no positive results. I am still unable to make out what is causing this problem.
Please help!!! It is urgent.

Have you checked your keyboard...the "+" key might be pressed in.!!

Press the + key hard (i mean hard) a few times and then see if the prob occurs again.

are you saying that it is a h/w problem?
But it does not occur when I am starting up windows and logging in.

Yes, check your keyboard. You could've told us in that post if you tried pressing that + key hard or not, as hemant and deepgeek suggested.

usually keys are connected to circuit boards through a rubber .. with a magnetic coating. if that rubber sheet is loose then that magnetic surface may come in contact with the board ... that may be the cause of ur prob!
