What type of laptop?
Dell- Inspiron E1505
Perhaps try not typing so hard?
Seriously though, I've seen this kind of thing happen a lot, and it seems to be the result of heavy use of the laptop keyboard. You could get a wireless (or wired) external keyboard and use that instead of the laptop keyboard whenever possible.
That, or just be super careful not to type with Mjolnir.
How old is the laptop? I’d recommend maybe cleaning out the keyboard with some compressed air and see if that might fix the trouble.
Use a TINY amount of rubber cement in the notch on the bottom of the keycap, and let it dry to tacky before you replace the keycap on the keyboard. DO NOT put cement directly on the keyswitches, just on the keycaps.
