    Got a problem

    Sister was typing her essay on my laptop
    G73JH

    After she gave it back to me the keyboard is not working properly

    Shift+any key will not cap it
    i now type ik
    r now type rf
    f now type rf
    z will not work at all
    w now removes everything

    Was thinking it's a OS issue and probably a driver issue
    I restore the OS when upgraded to SSD and still same problem
    I restore and got new drivers still same problem
    I hit every function key still same problem
    Removed keyboard and put it back on
    Restored BIOS and still same problem

    External keyboard works fine
    Asked sister what she do and she said she was only typing her essay and now it is not working and she only hit keys by accident...

    Anyone out there experience this problem or may know a solution?

    Given the proximity of ik and rf on a standard qwerty keyboard, I'd say that it's been physically dinged/damaged. Probably not related to the OS at all. Best you can do is try to take the keyboard out and see if there's any debris under the keycaps or something.

    try and make sure that one of those keys isn't stuck to the keyboard. It's happened to me before and i end up getting a bunch of unwanted commands. Sometimes the answer is staring right at you and it's one of the most simple things we take for granted.
