    HI, I have a friend that has a Sony VGN-AR750E/B. The keyboard isn't working quite right. When you type certain letters different letters or sins show up
    For instance, if you type m, the number 0 appears
    Has anyone seen this before? Any suggestions?

    It looks like those are dual function keys. It has something to do with the Nums Lock key in the top row. Notice in the picture below the nums lock and the small numbers on some of the letter keys are both in orange.

    Turn off Num Lock and the letters appear.
