Re: Laptop keyboard writes numbers instead of some letters

succesion but you know what I mean). What could be the problem? and
most importantly: How can i fix it?
I already tried all the troubleshooting that the keyboard function
on the control panel offers. Besides my keyboard is built-in
(menaning NOT USB connected). I already restarted it, changed the
language, checked for updates, unistalled-reinstalled the
controlers and the problem persists.

I hope (and think) it's not such a big issue since all I did was
press all the keys lightly, but I'd really appreciate your answers;
since this condition deems my laptop as unusable :(

Numlock Key On.

Either you got some liquid in there and it is temporarily shorting things
out, permanently shorting things out or you need to turn numlock off. A lot
of laptop keyboard require some Fn+somekey combination to do this and/or you
could go into the system BIOS and make sure it is not on at startup.
