Hello. I have a problem with the keyboard on my laptop. Well, today, after turning on the computer, the keyboard started to go crazy. Pressing o pops up io, writing v shows cv pressing L shows KL pressing r shows 3r etc. and additionally when I press e or t the cursor jumps to other places on...

The easiest way is to restore the system to the last correct configuration (e.g. from before yesterday - when it worked properly). Scan the Malwarebyte hdd proactively and clean up any invalid registry entries with CCleaner.

Unfortunately, the problem has not gone away. Could it have something to do with the drivers?

Check keyboard behavior on some LiveCd system, e.g. Ubuntu

The same is happening. However, some anomalies have disappeared. Only c -cv, v -cv and vice versa and r -3r, 3 -3r remain.

Has the keyboard been flooded by accident? Symptoms that a colleague gives may prove it. Maybe the keyboard tape is not sticking to the socket on the motherboard, unlikely but possible.

Everything looks like a broken keyboard.

Can the laptop keyboard be replaced or repaired?

Can be replaced. You can also repair it, but it is not profitable. A colleague must see if the laptop's keyboard is screwed on the bottom (usually 2 screws), or is it on the so-called clamps from above. First, I would disassemble and fix the tape.

I unscrewed all the screws from the bottom and the entire top cover of the laptop comes off on the sides but something in the middle holds it and prevents me from removing it.

Hello. I have a problem with the keyboard on my laptop. Well, today, after turning on the computer, the keyboard started to "go crazy". Pressing o pops up "io", writing v shows "cv" pressing L shows "KL" pressing r shows "3r" etc. and additionally when I press "e" or "t" the cursor jumps to other places on the page it is a bit like a tab stop when you want to jump to another column without using the mouse. What could it be caused by? Oh, nothing has ever spilled on the keyboard.

From what I can see, the keyboard also has a key backlight. A colleague must remove the top cover above the keyboard. Since all the screws are unscrewed from the bottom, it is enough to gently lift this strip above the keyboard, it also sits on the terminals. There are probably 4 screws under the strip that hold the keyboard. After unscrewing them, there will be no problem with removing the keyboard. Generally, at this stage, the colleague does not have to remove the entire top cover of the laptop.

I disassembled the keyboard and adjusted the tape fastening, but it didn't help.

This is a different question, the rest. My colleague works fine? I mean USB ports, Touchpad, etc.
