Windows 10: My keyboard is constantly going crazy

About a few minutes ago, if the Caps Lock key is off, it typed capital letters, and if the Caps lock key was on, it typed small letters. This also happened a few days ago, when i was using some old version of OneNote that i had on my PC it is running Windows 10, and i was typing, and if pressed backspace, my PC thought as i was holding the backspace key. Can you please help me fix this problem? It happens every few days. Here's a photo of the keyboard: it's a QWERTZ Serbian-latin keyboard

Thinkpad going crazy, virus, corrupt, or keyboard broken?

Hi All, Could anyone give me some insight as to what is going on here?

A friend's Thinkpad L540 Win10 Home SSD laptop (purchased refurbished, around 5-7 years old) is going crazy. It has happened suddenly, no gradual decline. Suddenly it has started going haywire. When you turn it on, first she wasn't able to log in: when you enter a single keystroke, a dozen asterisks would appear. At the same time the screen is going lighter, then darker again, out of control. I got in to a non-admin account with no password, and was unable to use the Winver command to locate the version number, or do anything. A hundred Firefox windows open, without any reason, a load of Excel windows, all manner of similar nonsense, screen going lighter and darker. I am not able to make any sense of it, not type any commands, I opened Wordpad, and for each letter I typed, a whole string of garbled letters appeared.

The keyboard looks clean, nothing has been spilled on it. I've given the keyboard a good blowing out to get rid of any crumbs etc that might have been causing issues.

I reasoned if I could start with a usb rescue disk, at least then I could tell whether it was a faulty keyboard or the OS. I managed to access Hiren's Boot CD PE, but it wouldn't let me even connect the wifi, as I couldn't type letters into the wifi password box, then the Windows accessibility voice came on out of nowhere and told me the keystrokes weren't recognised. And then it rebooted by itself.

I then tried Kaspersky Rescue CD, but again it wouldn't cooperate. All of these steps I've repeated a few times, but no change.

Could this be a faulty keyboard? I can change a keyboard but that means buying a replacement one, bit of a shame if that's not the actual problem. As I said I haven't been able to access the Windows Version number.

Is it a corrupt OS? My next step might be to reinstall Windows. She doesn't have anything on it needing saving, I would do a fresh install.

Any and all suggestions greatly appreciated,

Cheers,

Nokia Wireless Keyboard on the E71 going crazy

I have the Nokia wireless keyboard for my E71. Work great for 10 minutes or so, then either stops or goes crazy. When it stops it says it is connected but I get no response. It will happen while I am typing. Or it will start to go crazy. Commas will start
going non-stop or the scroll up will start and not stop (had to finally take the battery out of my phone!) Tried downloading and installing the new version 97.105.114 for the S60 v.3 but I get an installation error. Any ideas?
