Hello abeebissa, First try hitting the FN(function key) + numlock, if that didnt help try FN + F11(have heard some models use this instead) If that doesnt work you can go to Programs>Acer >Acer eRecovery Management choose "yes" at the prompt then, a window gives you the options to Backup, Restore, Settings, or Help. Click on Restore. This will give you a choice of Completely Restore System to Factory Defaults, Restore Operating System and Retain User Data, or Reinstall Drivers or Applications. Pick Operating System and Retain User Data. Just follow instructions from there.

Try using on-screen keyboard for typing at the moment but, to solve your problem, take your PC to a technician who would now diagnose the problem with your keyboard. It might mean your keyboard is bad and needs to be changed.

The keys that are alpha - numberic are typeing numbers instead of alphabet.

There should be a key marked [FN] check that key for something stuck under it. If nothing is there press the [FN] key and make sure the number lock is off and see if that corrects the problem. If it doesn't the next step would be double checking the keyboard selection inside windows and reloading the keyboard drivers finally if nothing from above corrects the problem you will need to replace the keyboard. If you have ever had that area open for maintenance or cleaning open it up again and make sure the connector hasn't come loose.

On my laptop alphabet keys uiojkl and m have numbers on them i dont know what i pressed but whenever i use the keyboard now it will only type the numerals that are on those keys instead of the letters...

please check for a the ( Fn) key which is found next to the left side ctrl marked by a blue colour. cleck to see if this is jammed as only by holding the fn key down will the alphabets change to numerical. If the fault is persisting again open your keyboards settings and check for default settings. Also try to reinstall the drivers or else restore you computer to an earlier good restore point by clicking on control panel, select back up /restore. I hope this clears your fault. Good day.

KEYBOARD PROBLEM

The number lock is engaged on your laptop keyboard. usually that is FN+F11 keys or number lock is on by default in the BIOS setup.
Check and see which F1-F12 key looks like a number pad
