dropped powerbook, now keyboard is wonky

[katie ta achoo]

So, I got home today from Austin, and had my backpack and Powerbook (in a case) on the same shoulder. I just dropped my backpack on the ground, and the Powerbook went with it.. I had forgotten it was on my shoulder.

I immediately flipped open my Powerbook and made sure everything was OK. I ran a check on the HD to see if it was failing, and everything is OK. (It was in a case)

BUT... now, the P key on my keyboard is really messed up.

I keep getting multiple instances of the letter P typed.

sometimes, there's a letter between the two Ps if I'm typing quickly.

for example, I'll type something and not spell check it:
Percy made sure his popwerbook was propperly positioned. Plpease make perfectly sure that prpevious prescriptpions are thrown away before expiration date ppasses.

I'm not a bad speller! This is how it's typing!
How to fix?
please help.
any ideas will be tried, unless it's something funky like put the powerbook in the freezer..

It might be that the key itself is stuck. If you are willing, try prying it off (carefully though; they are attached with a plastic "scissor mechanism") and seeing whether the scissor mechanism is alright. Be extremely careful though, as it is incredibly easy to break the plastic if not done properly.
