COMPAQ Presario 900 problem?

For no obvious reason my laptop failed to load to windows (XP) got into the Bios (PhoenixBIOS 4.0 Release 6.0).
On the details page the last 3 lines are
mouse initialised
ERROR
0210: Stuck Key
pressing F1 Boot nothing happens
pressing F10 and it does go into Computer Setup.
Any body got any clues as to what it could be, if it is not a stuck key,
Ps did try the tapping all the keyes to see if it was a stuck contact but still nothing,

The message about a stuck key means that at least one key, ANY key, is continously in a depressed state. This don't means that you have a key that no longer move or is always down. It can mean that the contact for a key is always closed even if the key is up.
It can also mean that the keyboard scanning logic is broken and falsly report a key as been depressed.

You probably need to replace the keyboard.
