    My keyboard types the wrong keys


    It all started when I replaced my laptop battery. After that, I realized that some of my keys like the b, s, or spacebar key didn't work. I used a keyboard tester after that, and it turns out those keys got rebinded. My s key turned into F12, my spacebar turned into the pause button(even though this a laptop), and a couple other keys also got displaced(insert key, escape key). I tried to change the keyboard language layout, but that didn't work. Then, I tried a system restore to try to revert my laptop to a state before this happened. However, after waiting for a day the restore to finish, I decided to force shut my computer down and abort it(it was stuck on restoring registry). Does anyone know what happened, and if there is a fix?

    :)
