Scrambled keyboard
posted by wordwarrior on Oct 28, 2007
All the keyboard keys are scrambled--typing the wrong key/function. Nothing was spilled on it, and I have restored it back a few days. It was working fine, and then the next time I tried to use it, everything was scrambled. It doesn't matter if I reboot, etc.

Have you tried cleaning and reseating the zif connector that connects the keyboard to the motherboard? Depending on how many cats and kids bang on the laptop, that can cause a problem. Another possibility is using an external keyboard and see if the same thing happens. If so, look to see if a keyboard program of some sort is running. If the external keyboard works fine, then you will need to replace the internal one, or just continue using the external one.
