Hi, Ramen.

First thing is to make sure there is not a key stuck down on your
keyboard: Switch your laptop off, turn it upside down and bang all the
keys to see if anything falls out. Quite often, keys get stuck down and
then auto-repeat. It's possible that one of the [F]unction keys is
sticking, and pressing "Esc" along the top row might very well release it.

If that is not the problem, boot your laptop from a Bio-Linux USB-stick.
If you get the same symptoms, then it's likely to be a hardware fault on
your laptop: Keyboards are readily available for most types of laptop
and are not difficult to fit. However, you do need to find out how to
fit them on your particular laptop without breaking any parts.

HTH,

  Tony.
