Did you do this? Under SYSTEM PREFERENCES click on LANGUAGE & TEXT, then INPUT SOURCES and uncheck the boxes for all but the language you want. (You can pick more than one). Then before you leave, click on the bottom where it says "Show Input Menu in Menu Bar." The Menu Bar will show you the flag from the country whose language you have selected. If you click on that, you will see the other languages you've checked and can change them. Hope this helps.
1. Restart.
2. Press F2 key couple of times
3. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405

Choose the method for:
"Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
If this does not help, contact Apple.

Yes. It's the F2 key, right above the 2 key.
With certain (rather unusual) Peferences settings, you have to hold down the fn key on the lower left corner of your keyboard for the Fkeys to have their ordinary effect.
lol this happened to me open up your mac and look where the caps key would be located and check if the pin is still in or not brocken if it is bent just bend it back strait and there you have it
Remove the RAM chips and re-insert. Now try. Go to System Preferences, Accounts, click on your user account, then click on login items and select all the choices, and then click on the - icon box. Now try this thing out. Nothing still? Shut the thing down and wait 5 seconds. Now remove your battery and make sure your AC adapter is not plugged in. Now press and hold the power button for 5 seconds. Now put back in your battery and plug back in the AC adapter and power this beast up. Any luck? No? Power down and wait 5 seconds. Now press the power button and immediately press the apple logo key-option key which is next to the apple logo key-the P key- and the R key at the same time. Wait for 3 bong sounds and then you can release the keys. Still nothing? Your fu.kd bud, because you got an expensive paper weight. You gonna have to repair or replace the logic board.
Placing back the keys is not possible manually except that you stick it, and thats the worst thing you would do.
if you have an apple service center nearby, get it serviced by them as they need to open the lower case of the macbook to do that.
Btw is it Macbook or Macbook Pro? Because macbook pro has a unibody which can not easily get the keys back into position if they popped off.
