Laptop Keyboard bizarre behavior?

Question

This morning I was wiping off the screen and keyboard with a cloth. I must have pushed several keys at the same time. Now when I press "S" in any application, the "/" symbol comes up. If I press "H" the letters "h6jm come up. Pressing V makes VB.

What did I do? and How do I go back to a normal keyboard?

Answer 1

I had this problem. Please make asystem restore. It will be OK.Keyboards form part of the user interface and a keyboard problem can be very annoying. Sometimes the keyboard drivers can get corrupted. Some of the problems can be fixed . I have found the details given at http://fixit.in/keyboard.html is more useful.

Answer 2

your key pad had got moisture, underneath it, this is what causes it to do this, get a hair dryer, if theres no serious damage, and bow dry it for 15 or 20 mins, back and forth, then restart the system, if problem persits, you may want to consider replacing the key pad, or getting the system repaired, water is good for a lot if things but not computers, the next time you deciede to clean the system, use a damp alcohol,towelet

It could have something to do with macros / shortcuts, or something got in the keyboard to make it wierd. If it makes you feel better my laptop has a big bulge on the keyboard (lol).
