ASUS K50IJ keyboard malfunction
Hello,
I have a ASUS K50IJ, with a Core 2 Duo T5900 Processor and 2048 MB RAM. I am currently running Windows 7 Professional N.
For the past couple of weeks I began having a problem with my keyboard whenever I try editing a text file or changing a filename, and even now when posting this message :). This problem doesn't occur all the time and I have no ideea if it's hardware or software related.
Sometimes, when pressing the right arrow key, the characters hge9+ appear where the cursor is and then the cursor moves. If NumLock is turned off, instead of hge9+ only hge+ appears and the cursor moves up the screen, making me believe that the 9 in hge9+ is related to the key 9 on the numeric pad (since whithout NumLock, the 9 key is Page Up). Also, when I press the Delete key, I get the characters 65s'73 and then it deletes the following letter. If I press delete several times, the s is sometimes with CAPS, like this: 65s'7365S'7365s'7365S'73 .
This is very frustrating, not being able to properly edit any document. The same thing happens when NumLock is off and I press the 6 key on the numeric pad (which is right arrow). I checked that my drivers are up to date, and they are.
Does anyone know what could be causing this? Thank you very much for your time.
