looking at the on-screen keyboard while typing (it shows that I am pressing the shift key, but not the number key).ДЄre there any diagnostics I can run to determine what the problem is?Д®DIT: I couldn't get linux to boot from a USB, but I did try an external keyboard and it resolves all issues, so it's likely just my laptop's keyboard is broken.Holding Ctrl and Alt while pressing 2 so I can type does not work. However, I tried several options in the Keyboard Layout and progressed nowhere. This solution: some keyboard keys not working properly As some of you may already know, in order to type in special characters (like, ВЈ,, et cetera), you need to hold Ctrl and Alt.

Uninstalling and reinstalling the keyboard drivers.in the previous example, instead of typing 9, it types 999 and then I have to try the above remedy on a different key before trying shift+ 9 again. Sometimes this remedy does not work and it results in duplicates of the number when typing it, and so I have to try to remedy a few other symbols before trying my original one again and it usually works again.if I notice I cannot type the ( key, I type 9 (it types it), I press backspace, and then I type shift+ 9 again. To remedy it, I can most of the time type the desired number key without the shift key, backspace the number I just typed, and then use shift again with the number key to type the symbol.I can still type the number key itself, just not the symbol. No character appears when I try to type them, it is just like I am not typing anything. Frequently and randomly, all number keys except 5 and 6 fail to register when holding shift (that is, when I want to type the symbols for those key).Seemingly out of nowhere, my Dell Inspiron 13 laptop keyboard starts behaving in the following way:
