New Laptop Setup

[Qwerty]

Hey Guys,

Quick question for the techies, I bought a new Asus laptop w Windows 8 today. Got home turned it on so it did all the setup. Picked US English for keyboard.

Now that its up and running I opened up internet (any program) to type and half the keys do funky things. Example:

When hitting 'm' it types mc
When hitting 'c' it types cm
When hitting 'n' it types n-

This is just to name a few, ive tried changing the keyboard settings to something different (Canada English), and nothing changes.

Any help? Google failed me.

Thanks

Plug in an external keyboard and see what happens to determine if it's a software keyboard mapping error or the internal keyboard has several crossed contacts in the hardware layer.

What happens when you type Qwerty?

Working on finding an external keyboard around house.

The only keys that do wonky stuff are

c types cm
n types n-
m types mc
h types h+
j types j/

I remember now that this has happened to me before.

I had to lift up the keyboard and reconnect the ribbon cable underneath because it was slightly loose.

I'd take it back to the store so you don't void your warranty by dissembling stuff or causing accidental damage.
