HP Pavilion DV5006 - Unsolved Keyboard Malfunction...

[Nyanners]

So basically, I have this nice little laptop by HP, the DV5006, after a while of using it fine and without trouble I upgraded to a newer more powerful laptop and thus put away the HP one, after a week or two I got out the old HP laptop only to find that the keyboard will input nothing but accented vowels.

I have done a lot of research and testing myself and have found that the following things do not in any way help:

■Installing another version of windows (core drivers only too and all XP, Vista and 7).
■Using an external keyboard (yields the same results, that being only typing accented vowels).
■Re-flashing a stock BIOS upgrade.
■Making sure the ALT key isn't being held down.

Yeah, I know some of you here have good knowledge for things like this, would be greatly appreciated if you could help!

Thanks~

Does the keyboard work right in the BIOS or with a Linux boot CD?

When in BIOS, the standard keys such as Up, Down, Left, Right and Enter work somewhat but beeping as if an invalid key was pressed keeps happening, if I press any key at all when this happens it pauses the beeping but resumes after 1/2 seconds.
