Laptop keyboard giving wrong characters [ Edited ]

[uicehole]

Fat fingers is the root of this problem.  CTRL-Shift toggles between normal and flaked out keyboard.  Pressing the two keys together should get your keyboard back to normal (or to krazykez). 

ALT-Shift may also do this.

I was typing on my keyboard and all of the sudden I pressed the 'n' key and got nh7

NOW when...

pressing 2 gets 2/6

pressing 6 gets 2

pressing 4 gets 74

pressing 0 gets 7

pressing g gets bg

pressing h gets nh

pressing b get bg4

pressing 1 turns on cap lock

pressing the wireless prints a 9

perssing the speaker turns off the wireless

Is there anything I can do to stop this?

Hi,

I've been trying to find answers to my annoying HP laptop keyboard issues as well, and I stumbled on your question. I was directed to this website. It will help with your question.

 http://www.pctips.smittystips.com/v_special_characters_laptop_keyboard.php  

some of it was useful to my situation, but what I was happy to read was how to access those blue characters on some of the keys! You press and hold CTRL+Shift + the question mark key (as an example), and you'll either get the question mark or the é. Press CTRL+Shift again, and your keyboard returns to normal. Finally, I found out how to access those blue keys!

I believe my keyboard hardware is wrong, and that`s why I can`t do other things that I`m having problems with...

but, I think this page might help you.

Hello lepanto.  I understand your keyboard is not typing the correct characters.
