I have a Gateway laptop. I too was encountering the problem with the wrong characters
popping up when I typed different letters. I attributed this to the number lock
being on even though I didn't think I turned it on. There is no button labeled number
lock on my keyboard. The number lock key is under the Scroll key on the top right
of the keyboard. In blue on the Scroll button there is an icon of a padlock with
the number 1 in it. Pressing the Fn key and the Scroll key at the same time fixed
the problem and I was able to continue working.
