Post by: puppydog605 on June 23, 2006, 04:06:51 PM
my laptop computer has its keys messed up.  it's not happening now because this is the family computer.  but when i type the letters on the top row, the numbers in the row above that correspond to that letter come after the letter.  all i did was press backspace (GENTLY, NOT HARD) a few times to delete some wrong letters when i was typing.  im not sure what to do, snd it's hard when the most commonly used letters, esecially "e."

these are the letters, and what they look like on my computer when i type them-
q1, w2, e3, r4, u7, i8, o9, p0.

Im not sure what to do!!!!!! HELP!!!!!    :-?

Simply removing and refitting the keyboard may resolve this issue - but you should leave that job for someone who is competent to disassemble laptops.
