My computer at home goes through these periods where the screen keeps bouncing up and down. A guy at work said it sounds like you have a key sticking on your keyboard. Sooooo, I brought a new keyboard. Well, it didn't solve the problem. Is there a simple fix here (very simple) or do I need to call someone out to look at it?
pssssst...... The periods of bouncing are lasting longer and more frequent.

Couple questions:
- what do you mean by "bounce"? do you mean it scrolls by itself? In both directions? A few lines, or several inches, or entire screens? - does it happen in every program? (word, browser, email, etc.) or only specific ones? - have you tried the usual solutions? (reboot, unplug and re-plug, do a virus scan, etc.) - have you added any new hardware or new programs lately?

One way to narrow down what the problem is would be to plug your computer into a different monitor. If the problem continues then you'll know the problem isn't your monitor, if it stops then it's likely the problem originates with the computer or is possibly a conflict between the monitor and the computer.

Have you checked (swapped out) your cables?

Be careful to use caulk that is safe for aquariums should the need arise.

Jake, it scrolls by itself from top to bottom real fast no matter what site I go to. I did a virus check via AVG and there was no viruses. After reading the suggestions here. I changed cables and did a reboot. So far so good, it's not scrolling by itself.
psssst...... Me thinks youse guys found the problem. Thanks!!!

I always check hardware first if its a potential problem. Its usually much more straightforward to diagnose/fix. If a hardware check doesnt resolve the issue, then I delve into the software side of things.

Sometimes when the batteries get low on Anns vibrator, I have to do real work Vibrators were developed by doctors in the mid-1800s to help them do a better job at relieving their female patients' hysteria. Their hands got tired so they developed tools to do the job. I'm highly in favor of the devices. That last brownout in Marin County was me.
