    Issues with keyboard - eg i press P and get :0P, e gets d3e.....


    Hi all;
    We just turned on our other laptop and the keys are all changed. Most of the keys we press have totally different characters, below so far is what come up instead:
    - p = ;0p
    - e = d3e
    - q = a1q
    - f = f4r
    - o = l9o

    We have been trying for an hour to change this but cannot find an answer. Can anyone please help?

    This is what's known as Ghosting, and I am not seeing any articles on the internet explaining how to fix it.

    To anyone who thinks Ghosting is where you can't press more than a few keys at the same time, that's called "key rollover". What we are seeing here is true Ghosting in action, and this is not not what keyboard manufacturers are referring to when they say they have "Anti-Ghosting".
