Keyboard malfunction,hardware or software problem?

Okay so i know this is not the keyboard itself because i have replaced it and didn't fix the problem. Scanned my whole computer and found no viruses, what the problem is, is that if i were to press key "3" that's above letter "E" it would show up as ".74231" if i press letter "E" the results i get are "hge9+" also the caps lock and spacebar act like this, not every key but about a handful of them do. I have already tried the "fn" "num lk" technique but it still does it.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

My guess is liquid damage / corrosion on keyboard connector, controller chip or circuit traces between kb connector and control chip.

Tengo el mismo problema, además la tecla de la "barra espacio" escribe "nbz ". Lo curioso es que el problema desapareció en 2 ocasiones que no estuve conectado a internet (5 horas aproximadamente), pero luego volvió al conectarme a internet.

Your device is fine, its your key board. Junk the board and get a new one. I have two or more of these a month from friends an family. Ive worked on the boards to fix this isue. There is only one fix, a new key board.

I don't think you read what i had said, if its my keyboard then why did the other keyboard i ordered from EBay had the same problems? It was even tested and said to be fully functionable.

Had a similar problem with Shift “p” in order to print “P” I get “P&$@#!” instead and I get 74231 if I try to type “p”. The backspace also gives me sometimes 74231 and the cursor jumps to the begining of the line.

I actually had replaced the battery short time ago with a higher and stronger battery because there is no battery similar to the original one. It looks like the new battery fried the laptop.
