I have a very weird problem.
Running FC9, Compaq Presario F500. Only about a year old.
Recently (past few weeks), whenever I boot up, the following
keys are non responsive; asdfjkl; and the enter key.
If I wait a few minutes, like 3 or 4 minutes, they start
working. If I restart a couple of times, they start
working too, however, I think this is the same 3-4
minute delay.
It would appear to be a hardware problem (bad keyboard),
however, once the keys start working, I never have another
problem, until the next reboot.
Could there be some software issue here?
I really like the laptop, works well, I really don't
want to take it apart unless I have to.

I suspect the keyboard has been contaminated, possibly by a soft drink?
I won't be responsible, but I've heard, and did it just once 15 years ago,
that the top rack in the dishwasher is safe. Use only a teensy amount of a
liquid detergent, something that can be completely removed by the rinsing the
dishwasher does. Common dishwasher powders are very brutal, but a few drops
of Palmolive or Joy have been reported to work. I'd remove it before the dry
cycle gets too hot, and let it dry in air a couple of days before putting it
back in the lappy.
