The "v" key is malfunctional. It does not input if I key it alone. The letter appears when I type a word with the letter v in it, but the spelling is wrong. It shows up after three letters or so. Sometimes it seems like predictive text input, appearing after the letters i, w, o, e, r, or t. The letter would type itself whenever I select an area to input text.

I am assuming you are using XP and not Vista, follow these instructions to check the keyboard

Go to Start/Control Panel/Regional and Language Options/languages/settings

Look at the top drop down choices and make sure the keyboard input text is in the language for your country

Vista is a similar operation. Just follow your nose

SOURCE: different letters appear when typing a certain

Hi,

I see that when typing in on the keyboard some letters appear as well like for "s' the letter "w" shows up as well.

Was there any liquid spilled on the keyboard? if none then you can try cleaning OFF any unwanted software on you computer, then perform a disk defragmentation on the machine just to have everything in proper order for the windows side.

After doing what was said above restart the computer and try the keyboard again if still the issue is the same, i suggest that you back up any personal stuff like pictures and emails if ever because reformatting the Hard drive and windows back to factory defaults will be next to see if the issue will still be the same after reinstalling windows back to defaults.

If the issue is still the same after reinstalling windows then this is going to be considered a hardware failure to the keyboard and replacing the keyboard will be the next best thing to be done.

Unless Liquid was the cause then the issue may differ if the motherboard was the one causing the letters to type in with other letters which is not common.
