having a weird laptop problem. After cleaning it suddenly could not start the computer at all. Then after a day it suddenly started again. Then I found that all the keys and the touchpad were dead, so could not enter password to get into system. So tried the on-screen keyboard and managed to enter, but then found additional problem I keep having characters running across the screen, when in documents or other search boxes, seems to consist mostly of "77797777777977777777777" running across the screen intermittently every 10 seconds or so, it's driving me nuts. so eventually decided might be the best way to disconnect the keyboard in case keys were stuck for some reason and then buy an external USB keyboard which would be better than buying a new laptop. So opened up computer disconnected keyboard and could not believe it when I restarted computer these damn characters are still running across the screen I am stumped now. only thing I can think of that while cleaning keyboard some cleaning liquid might have leaked through the and damaged something, although really only used a slightly damp cloth to clean fascia any advice on this would be welcome by just cannot reach an answer after disconnected keyboard did not solve anything

Well problem solved actually- turned out to be Win prob After trying everything decided nothing to lose,so as last resort did System Restore, which is always a bit hit and miss, often there being no restore point. But fortunately there was a point, restored and everything working ok now.
Another lesson learned !
