Typing Problem in some apps - Hotkeys the issue?

Fizman · 2008-11-01 16:13:33

A cousin of mine is having a bit of trouble at the minute with his laptop. When he hits a certain key, he is getting the secondary function (eg. he hits 'k' and gets '1', hits '1' and gets '!', etc). I was thinking that he may have activated some sort of hotkey function or something by accident? Any ideas?

two things come to mine
1) double check that all the num/scroll/caps lock are off
2) might be that the [FN] button is stuck... could try hitting it (them?) a few times incase that helps, if not - wrench it off and clean the contacts.
