My keyboard is automatically pressing F12. but stop when i press other key. and then it will resume to automatically typing after a few seconds. 
when i press F12. the keyboard backlight isnt working. but it will glow when the spamming resumes.

can anyone please help me what to do? im having trouble finding a replacement here in my place.. im using ubuntu, tried to disable it with xmapmod. but its still typing F12 even after being disabled. already tried reinstalling ubuntu. and also tried using windows 10.

well if you cant fix it via software, then you gotta do the hardware, try removing the key cap and inspect if anything is stuck, broken etc,
