   My C-128 is throwing random chars

   Recently my C-128 has started acting very oddly, it throws random characters   
   as if I were typing them but I'm not. Sometimes it acts like I press keys even   
   when my fingers aren't on the keyboard, and sometimes it will add random keys   
   among the actual    
   keys I am typing.   
      
   OK, this is old hardware, and things happen... but it was flawless until now.   
   What would be a fix for this -- does this sound like something "recapping"   
   would address? I am pretty clueless when it comes to hardware issues.   
      
   Is there a diagnostic image (in D64 or D71 format for an SD2IEC) out there   
   that might help?   
      
   Thanks.
