    I think it may be your num lock. If not, it is likely a virus

    I had a similar problem with one of my laptops only my key (it was the V) would come on and stay on. I went to Radio Shack and purchased some contact cleaner. Then I pried off the key and sprayed the contact cleaner onto the part that was still there. I let it dry and came back later, put the key back on and it has been working ever since. Stuff gets under the keys and sometimes stops them from working. If it is dust, you could try the canned air to blow under the keys. Might work.

    You have accidentally enabled numlock so that some keys become numbers instead of letters. To turn if off press FN key along with NUMLOCK (if the keyboard does not have the word numlock look for a similar indication).http://www.trilogicuk.co.uk/
