How to fix the computer keyboard when the key has swapped with @.

Without knowing which type of logitech keyboard it is, I'd suggest borrowing or buying another keyboard to see what the problem might be. The springs sometimes go bad, and it costs money to replace keys at retail prices, but sometimes it is easier to just swap keyboards, or takes keys from an identical keyboard.

Amazon and other online sites sell all kinds of keyboards and deliver them.

Most likely something was spilled in the keyboard or is not getting a good connection at the USB port. Try swapping ports, if that doesn't fix it, try cleaning the keyboard (unplugged). If all else fails replace, these are fairly cheap keyboards.

Hi:
It isn't uncommon for laptop keyboards to fail, as they are not built that sturdily. The easy fix for you is to swap out the keyboard. They are inexpensive, usually $20 or less on ebay, and not hard to swap out. Even if you don't want to tackle it, buy a new keyboard, and hire a tech to swap it out, and you will be good to go!

Hi:
There is not an easy way to see which key is sticking on your laptop. The good news is that a replacement keyboard will fix the problem, and it is easy to swap out, and not too expensive. They are usually only about $20 on ebay, and instructions are available too. If you buy a keyboard, and don't feel up to changing it, most computer shops will help you swap it out for not too much cash...
Hope you fix it!

The swapping process you have used already have clearly shown that your keyboard is faulty. It may be that a key is pressed down permanently / faulty and this blocks the signalling - check all the keys carefully to ensure none is depressed. Or one of the Connector pins (the part that goes into the computer) is bent - you may need to check and use a tool to straighten it.
But it is good to know that Keyboards are cheap to replace. If the above did not help, you can buy another keyboard for as low as £5 and then continue enjoying your computer.

you don't say which keys don't work and if the keyboard is more than 1 year old you may open case via the screws in back of keyboard please note down the keys that don't work then the keys that you don't use that often just swap the rubber conntacts on them if yours has the rubber membrain it needs to be sent back to the manufacture of the keyboard to have them replace the membrain but if the keyboard is in warrenty then get it sent back with the details of sale. look for all screws they may be hidden.
