Keyboard key stuck

Explanation: A key was stuck on the keyboard as the system booted up. Some systems will detect this specifically, while others just give a generic "Keyboard error" in this situation. Some systems will produce a two-digit code when this error occurs, which tells you the scan code of the key that is causing the problem. This may let you correct it more easily.

Diagnosis: Usually this error occurs from trying to type on the keyboard while booting. If this is not the problem it is usually a keyboard problem.
