Try cleaning your keyboard. Something may be stuck under the key or some part under the key may be a bit messed up.

Buy a thesaurus so that you can avoid words with a b, as for people with a b get housed and start passing out nicknames

Hi Neervana, I googled your problem. Hope one of the answers is useful. http://www.computing.net/answers/hardware/the-l-is-sticking-on-my-laptop-keyboard/71451.html Sorry, I can't make the link work. You could type the address in.

I think your lappy is just giving you problems because of a lack of BACON!! LOL!!
Seriously though I don't understand it either I would think just giving it a good cleaning and making sure that the Key itself doesn't have anything "sticky" on it ...

Replace the keyboard? Its fairly easy to do and isn't too expensive

i've replaced keyboards or keys on a few laptops before. if replacing/cleaning the key doesn't work then you probably need to replace the keyboard. there's a ton of self help videos on youtube on how to do it. alot of cities have "recycle" electronic stores where people can donate computers and laptops, custom or not, you can probably find what you need at one of those stores and fix it yourself or have one of their techs do it (it's 40 bucks an hour here with an hour minimum)

the key should be a few quarters and a keyboard should be a few dollars
