I have an acer 2012wlmi and the keyboard is allllll screwed up....
...and it isn't a num lock issue, or a AZERTY french keyboard map issue either - its just screwed....
I have to type the keys for the @ button to get the " symbol, and vice versa. Every third time I use the shift button, the cursor moves to some random part of whatever text I am typing and begins spontaneously typing there - sux when you're trying to type a school paper.
can somebody help me out?
Does anybody know how to remap the keyboard, or at least return it to its default setting?
I'm afraid that nothing short of a BIOS upgrade will fix this crap.....

You could try replacing the keyboard. That tends to be one of the easiest repairs.

does anybody have any directions on keyboard mapping? does somebody know if there is a bios setting that will return the keyboard to a default setting, or will I just have to try a funky bios upgrade and hope for the worst, er, I mean best?

This may help, it helped me once. Remove the keyboard, including the cables. Next take a picture if possible, or draw a detailed map of where the keys go and remove all of them.
Clean the surface completely, using warm water, and a *dab* or dish detergent (no ammonia). completely dry and wait until humidity is normal, then reassemble.
It could be random shorts, I saw it on a guys keyboard once.
