My function key randomly activates without being touched. It will happen in any application I may be using. If I have the Keyboard viewer open I can watch the key activate on it's own. Sometimes it stays activated and other times it will flash on and off without even touching the keyboard.

I doubt it is the keyboard because I have replaced that.

A restart usually corrects the problem for awhile.

Any ideas?

I think you kind of answered your own question:

"I doubt it is the keyboard because I have replaced that."

What did you replace it with and how? Who's to say there isn't something wrong with the new keyboard? Is there any crud or gunk under the key in question?
