keyboard some of the letters typing dual such as j types yj and y types yj

[LisaCarol]

keyboard not working correctly type in J and get uyj type in d and get caps lock and wS

I have checked the settings and the language is set correctly.

I have done the alt + shift keys

I have tried the cntrl + shift keys

I have tried the fn + num lock

I have tried the fn + caps lock

I tried changing the usb port that the keyboard was plugged into.

I tried checking the settings to ensure sticky keys are not on.

I tried uninstalling the keyboard then rebooting and plugging it back in and starting again.

I tried rebooting computer,
I tried running troubleshooting from control panel / device manager got message device is working properly

None of this has fixed the problem, I had this problem before and clearly it was about setting up something wonky with hitting two keys that put in some odd command, but can't find solution it was fixed "acccidentially" the last time.

I did this with external keyboard that I plug into lap top. I would rather not have to replace the external keyboard but I don't know how to undo it.

Since posting this and trying various things some of the keys now work, but some do not,

if I type T I get tf

if i type F I get tf

If I type j or y single, I get yj as a combo, if I type s I get S and caps lock, if I type d it jumps the screen and is lost all together, can't type until I scroll page up to where I was typing, If I type [ or ; I will get [;

So not sure what to do the biggest problem seems to be with the center row keys and most commonly used letters .

Hi,

Please do try these troubleshooting steps that may help. (You can skip those steps that you've done already)
- First is to uninstall/reinstall the keyboard driver.
- Go to Device Manager and uninstall the keyboard driver then reboot the laptop.
- After the reboot do test it again and see if it will work or not.
- If it will still not work open onscreen keyboard (just search for osk) and press the letter j and see if it will type the letter using it.
- And lastly, try connecting an external USB keyboard and see if everything will work normal using it.
- If it will work just fine that problem is that specific key only, try to dust off that key and see if it will work or not.
- Replacing the whole keyboard would be the only solution if all these will not work.

I have same problem as Matt2007 spilled a bit of rum on the keyboard....I know.....then it all went to h*(( now I can't log in to the machine (using work machine now) not even with usb keyboard because my password contains characters that have been corrupted. Matt how long did it take for your keyboard to dry out?
