    HI every one. I'm working on a Gateway M-series laptop.
    When I hit any of the following keys I get the following output :
    1 or 2 gives me 12
    Q or W gives me QW
    A or S gives me AS
    Z or X gives me ZX

    All the other keys seam to work fine.
    The following is what I have done so far.
    Reinstalled the keyboard drivers.
    Replaced the keyboard.
    USB keyboard works fine.
    On screen keyboard works fine.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks for your input but the keyboard has been replaced already.
    Both keyboards have the same problem.

    First troubleshooting step for a laptop keyboard: Attach an external keyboard and see how it works.
    Since those keys are in line with each other, it points to a problem with a circuit on the keyboard or perhaps a circuit under those keys.

    Thanks again for the feed back.
