Dell inspiron

[eugenepious]

Hi there I have a Dell inspiron and some of the keys on the keyboard are not typing what they are suppose to type, eg when I type p lower case I get qweru and when I type P upper case I get QWERU, The letters on the left hand side seem to be ok, its just a few on the right that are giving trouble. Please help as its driving me bonkers.

Does it do it all the time, or just at the moment? This happens on my Dell laptop sometimes, I just restart it and it sorts itself out. (the " and the @ are in the habit of swapping themselves over!)

This happened to my laptop just a couple of weeks ago. It had come back from being repaired and a few of the keyboard were all over the place. Mentioned it to my son and he said maybe the keyboard has been set differently. It had!!!! was on UK/USA and should have been UK/UK All sorted....

Its doing it all the time, not sure what happened to it, as I am a novice at this how do I check if the keyboard has been set otherwise?, also how do I reset if it is?.
