    Well, the thing is, Today I just turned on my computer... and it started to act weird, suddenly a RED MENU came up, with some kind of CODES or words I didnt understand because I was in shock, It was the first time I seen it, so I hit ESC and it quit that weird RED MENU WINDOW (DOS SCHEME) Don't know what key to input while startup to go in there again

    and it came into my logging screen ... it was here when I tried to input my password and noticed my keyboard ain't working at all, NO KEY was working, so I restarted,

    again, at Log In screen, this time i could type, but for example,

    KEYS 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

    345 didn't work, 89 neither

    same goes for the rest of the keyboard, some worked other keys didn't work, so I had to connect an external USB KEYBOARD to use,

    went into WORD and tested the LAPTOP keyboard to find out that INDEED, ONLY SOME KEYS WERE WORKING,

    and it seem that SOMEHOW the KEYBOARD WAS GOING NUTS, because it kept bringing up VOLUME UP, VOLUME DOWN, so i figured that someone the keyboard circuit is going nuts.. was inputting keys on its own,

    hence i can't use the laptop normally,
    so I shut down, removed the laptop keyboard, am using USB keyboard now,

    it works normally smoothly again,

    LAPTOP KEYBOARD CABLE (the one behind the keyboard)
    the cable its self its like ... umm has been fold? could it be that is causing the cable to not work properly?!

    i am from SOUTH AMERICA PARAGUAY

    anyone know of any solution other then buying another keyboard from US ? coz ASUS e-store doesnt deliver worldwide and amazon or ebay only accepts PAYPAL, which here in paraguay we dont have
