I have AN515-51 laptop, the keys "en","i,", "l.", etc. work as a combo even when not intended to.

The same problem occurred with my gaming mouse that I bought separately. Even now, I couldn't type using my keyboard, I'm using the on-screen keyboard to type. Someone pls. help me, my JAVA project is halfway through , and it is for my final project. I've tried uninstalling the driver and restarting my PC, yet no change.

    Guys pls. help! I'll explain again , when I press my "a" key in my keyboard, "tab", "caps lock" and "F1" are pressed simultaneously . Similarly, when I press "e" key, "h", "n" and "8" keys are pressed simultaneously. There are 4 or more combinations like this.

    That type or error is typically an internal short in the keyboard. Keyboard keys are recognized by a matrix, when you press down on a key it actually shorts two layers together, giving something like an X,Y array to the system. If you have a short on the X and press down on any character served by that X the X,Y passed is actually each of the Xs plus the Y causing it to look like you're pressing several keys at once. Unless there is a contaminant in the keyboard (you didn't spill a Mountain Dew on it did you? :)) the only fix is a keyboard replacement. If you did spill on it you might be able to disassemble it and clean it to get it back. Some models allow disassembly, but most do not.
