I have a 2 year old SONY laptop(PCG-R505JL). Off late, the keys on my keyboard seem to be playing up.. the cursor randomly goes to previous positions /words, making typing a nightmare. Is there anything I can do ?

It sounds like you may have a virus Update your virus protection and check your complete system. Also make sure there is not any dust or lost particules hiding in and under the keys.(blow out with canned air when system is off). hope this helps, Frank

Assuming that you don't have a virus or trojan:

Remove and clean or replace the keyboard.

Laptop keyboard are customer replaceable equipment in that it is usually three or four screws and easy removal.

The Primary User Manual found by searching for "PCGR505JL" on this Sony page will show you how to remove the keyboard easily.

Just scroll to Page.88 about "Memory replcement" for keyboard screw locations.
