"a" key will not always function

[ebonn101]

Hey everyone,
This is my second technical help post of the day...sorry! I have the new 2.2GHz Macbook and its great. However, a few of the keys, most significantly the "a" key, sometimes do not register when depressed. I'll often hve to push the "a" key 2 or 3 times in order to get an "a" to appear on screen. This is so frustrating! Is it something I can fix myself or do I need to see a genius about it? Is anyone else having this problem???? Thanks for your help!

I'm having the same problem, but it's my "," key. Whenever I hit the top-left of the key, it doesn't respond, but when I hit it dead-on or any where else, it responds. I think I'm going to have to take it to the Apple store, hopefully my Applecare hasn't expired.
