Rebel T2i taking random shots by itself

My fathers' camera takes random shots in any mode without the shutter button being pressed, this happens in any mode. Attempts to access the menu to reset settings are met with no response.

The camera is a little dusty in places, (slight buildup around control switches eg.) and I suspect it needs to visit a tech to be taken apart and cleaned however I wonder if I am missing anything? The shutter button doesnt SEEM to be stuck, and will take pictures when pressed but responses are intermittent.

I would welcome any opinions or advice as to whether we may be looking at a software issue or just a dirty camera.

thanks in advance!
