keyboard issues--Rocky can you help!!!

You might try an external keyboard. If it works fine,
then you probably have a bad "row driver" or "column
driver" in your laptop. This means that more than one
key appear to be pressed when in fact you are pressing
only one.

The reason is that your keyboard is a matrix of switches,
and each row (like z, a, q 1) are connected to a row
driver and the column driver is what differentiates which
key is actually pressed. If the row driver is bad, then
the computer thinks you pressed ALL of them.

My Keyboard on my laptop has gone crazy! When I type
the letter "q", I get "aq1" (I also get this if I type
the number "1" and/or the letter "a". This pattern
continues as follows: if I type "2", "w", "s", "z",
or "x", I get "sw2zx"; "3", "e", "d","c" gives me "de3
c"; "4", "r", "f", "v"---"fr4bv"; "7", "u", "j", "m"--
--"ju7nm"; "8", "k", "i", "," ------
"ki8,"; "9", "o", "l", "." ----
"lo9."; "p", ";", "[", "/"----";[p/"..........hopefully
this gives you an idea of what I am going through. A few
are okay (5,6, t, y, g, h, b, n, and space bar). Also
this happens in lower case only. If I use the shift key
to use upper case, none of the affected keys type
anything (only the ones that are okay in lowercase are
okay in uppercase). Yet if i use the caps lock, then I
have the same problems, just in uppercase. I know this
is wierd and I am very baffled by it all. Any assistance
with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
