I was recently given a laptop from my friend. Everything looks new but the keyboard will type random f's when I'm not typing.. Some keys work and some don't.. If I push "I", then "K" shows up but if I push "K" then "K" shows up... Is this a minor problem? Or major? I don't want to spend a lot of money

Anyone wth an Asus laptop typing the wrong characters, try this very simple fix. My Asus , after I removed my wireless extended keypad, would type an * instead of a p, along with other mistyping keys. After hours with Asus tech support with no success , found an easy fix from a forum like this. Go into config.sys and pull up the extended virtual keypad. Turn off num lock. My problem solved until the next time I use my wireless extended keyboard.
