    Hi saturnsteel,

    Good work on troubleshooting. I would suggest you to update the BIOS on the computer. Please enter your service tag # on the link below, then download the BIOS required onto the system and install it.

    If the issue still reoccurs then you will have to replace the internal keyboard.

    Hi saturnsteel,

    Did you replace the internal keyboard and the issue reoccur on the internal keyboard.

    Also, did you reinstall the operating system on the computer to check if the issue reoccurs.

    Hi saturnsteel,

    Please use the recovery discs for restoring the system to factory state. Also, let us know the operating system installed on the computer so that we can check and assist you.

    Hi saturnsteel,

    Yes, you will need to use the Alienrespawn disc to restore the system to factory state. You will loose the applications from the system but you can backup pictures and videos.
