Hi,
I am having issues with my laptop keyboard (Acer Aspire E5-571G). When I press some keys, two letters are being typed. e.g. f types fn and n also types fn.
b types vb and v types vb
g types gh.

There are no issues with an external keyboard. I have replaced my laptop keyboard but the problem still persists. I have tried fixes like pressing Fn and shift together, Fn and NumLock together but to no avail. The system language is also correctly set. I have also reinstalled the keyboard driver. I can't figure out what is the problem.

Can anyone help me out in this situation?

Thanks

Sounds like you have a sticky key. I recently had this issue on my external keyboard. Your best bet is to try vacuuming the keyboard and/or using compressed air to try and clear any debris that may have gotten stuck underneath. Worst case, you may need to pop the keys off the keyboard to completely clean it (be sure to get a photo before doing that). I had to pop the keys off to get my keys to stop sticking.
