A few of my keyboard keys would occasionally stop working on my Zephyrus G14 GA403UV after less than 1 year, I got the keyboard replaced.

Essentially a few of my keys like U, I, E and W would basically not respond whenever I would wake the laptop. Sometimes they would respond when I would press them together with other keys. They would eventually start working again after pressing them repeatedly. I was also having touchpad issues at times where the touchpad would get stuck or not always respond as I would expect. It did seem to be a hardware issue as replacing the keyboard fixed it.

The tech wasn't 100% sure this is the problem, but I have dogs and a lot of pet hair and dander had found its way into the laptop, including the keyboard. I'm posting this for two reasons.

  1. I could not really find useful information about this when searching. A lot of people seem to have miscellaneous keyboard issues with these ROG laptops but it seems to be a mix of hardware and software problems, like with armory crate. I tried all the software stuff but nothing really worked for me.
  2. My last Zephyrus also had keyboard issues on certain keys and I wonder if that was also caused by an accumulation of dust/pet hair. Does anyone have tips on how to keep the laptop clean? Should I be spraying compressed air in there regularly? Where should I spray it?

Glitched broadcast in mid 2000s?

I was reminded of this today but I can't seem to find anything about it. It was sometime in the early to mid 2000s I was watching Space Ghost on Cartoon Network on the west coast late at night, but the audio was missing and instead I could hear two women having a conversation, it sounded like someone at the station was accidentally broadcasting and overriding the show's audio somehow. Does anyone else remember this? Was this some prank episode of spage ghost? Was it a glitch with my cable provider? I've never seen anything like that before or since.
