Question very strange problem

I have installed Fedora Core on a Toshiba Satellite Pro4600 laptop recently I have experienced a rather mysterious problem if I touch anything specially the keyboard or mouse I see this stuff “67yujhnmyyy” straight away some time it won't stop for while like this 67yujhnmyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy it look as if someone was typing something, I just watch in amusement. Be it in a console or while surfing using mozilla or any browser

Any help appreciated!

Sounds like a loose connection either in or near the keyboard.

I'm not a hardware guy and this is not a hardware forum. If you're qualified to disassemble the laptop, check the connectors to the keyboard. Reseating them may help. But most likely, you will need to replace the keyboard.

Cheers!

Thanks for your help everyone, I think replacing the keyboard is the obvious option.
