Staples/crap under keys.

Keyboard not plugged in properly.

I had this on my laptop. Turned out that the membranes under the keys were damaged (apparently they are quite sensitive.

So I have a USB keyboard plugged in. It's not exactly compact and convenient but at least I have a C,M,B,V and space bar!

I pressed a key accidentally I have never seen before yesterday, num lk, and spent the best part of an hour trying to work out why my keyboard was typing numbers. In desperation, I typed 'why 5s 0y 2eyb6ard wr6ng 'into Google and I found lots of other people had done the same thing. Perhaps that would help?

Otherwise, it's usually biscuit crumbs, and you need to prise off the keys very carefully, blow/wipe mess away, and stick them back on. Can be easier to turn it upside down and shake.

What was really weird though is that the keys worked in the google toolbar but nowhere else.

I was C&P everything for about 2 hours until I tried turning it off.
