My mac's Keyboard Keys have letters comming out weirdly?

Ok so my mac's keys are acting a little strange. My a key won't work and my caps lock button will just turn on by itselft. Also my back space button won't work either. And sometimes when i'm typing somethin up weird symobls will appear like triangles, circles, and Ls that look flipped like 7's. This has never happend and is starting to happen. I updated all the programs but the keyboard is the problem. It's not a virus btw. Oh and right now i'm using my PC.I did spill some water on it but that was just the trackpad and it works fine.Also yesterday night I was using it and did not have any problems. Thanks in advance!!!!

    the sensor where the keyboard plugs into the system board may have got water down in it. You may want to try replacing they keyboard. If it still does it then you will need to replace the system board. Before I even read your description I said to myself (liquid damage) I think its going to be your keyboard and nothing more.

    in case you're on a laptop, this is somewhat distinctive. persist with those training - for the reason which you're on a laptop and you have not got a numeric keypad, you need to use the only that's geared up into the keys on the appropriate in the "7-8-9-0-U-I-O-P" area. (those little blue numbers above the conventional letters.) you make the main of this numeric keypad by utilising keeping down the "Fn" button and then urgent the selection you want. -make sure your NumLock is on -Press "Fn" and "Alt" on the comparable time, besides because of fact the selection on the geared up in numeric keyboard that corresponds to the emblem you want. a million ? 2 ? 3 ? -- yay, this is the middle! 4 ? 5 ? 6 ? 7 • 8 ? 9 ? 10 ? 11 ? 12 ? thirteen ? etc, etc. wish that works!

    They have a lifespan of 1 million hits (uses). They fade out after a while. You must be a heavy user. =\
