    I bought an Elitebook 8560 about 4 months ago and its done really well for my needs but over the past 4 -5 weeks it will randomly switch to CAPS. This isn't just normal CAPS though, I lose all number keys (even the 10 key pad) and the number keys and the other punctuation keys will switch to whatever is on the key. At first I thought it was a glitch and I pressed the CAPS lock key and it will show CAPS ON but the letters go back to lower case but the other keys like numbers and what have you stay with the alternate (like !,@, # etc..). This almost always happens when I'm in the internet browser and when I close the window to restart the browser it switches to safe mode and I have to restart in order for the computer to be workable again. Does anyone have any thoughts? Its pretty annoying but other than this I love this computer!
