I am currently typing on a usb keyboard since my brand new acer aspire 5920 keyboard is messing up. When i try to type the keys type in something else. This only happens on the right side of the keyboard. please help
Fantastic! I was just having the same problem when I read this article and pressed FN+NumLk(F11), then the keys started to work properly again.
The reason this is happening is that the connection from the keyboard to the motherboard has moved. This is a common problem. I don't recommend you attempt to fix this unless you have a degree of experience; but it's a cheap repair, and no new parts are needed.
If you REALLY want to try to fix it yourself, here's a rough guide:
The bezel above the keyboard must come off by removing the screws at the back of the machine, flipping the display all the way open (in line with the base), and GENTLY prying the bezel off. Next, the retaining screws holding the keyboard down must be removed. there's a flat cable running from the bottom of the keyboard to a clip on the motherboard; this must be removed and reseated (warning! this is a tricky operation on Acer laptops).
USE THE FN KEY ON BOTTEM TO CHAGE IT BACK TO REG KEYS OK DONT FORGETTO MARK THIS AS FIX YA
