h6ome k8eys2 type numbers2

Original poster
I'm using a macbook running Leopard. A few days ago my roommate dropped my macbook onto the fl9oor from about 3 feet in the air. Now, the middle row of keys, as well as the numbers keys at the top type like this:

a1s2d3f4g5h6j7k8l90 (with shift) A!S@D#F$G%H^J&K*L()

This problem did not occur immediatly after the macbook was dropped. Rather 20 or so minutes after using it normally. Last night the problem seemed to magica1lly go away. But then today I was typing and mid-sentence it started having the same problem. Obviously this is a pain because I have to go back through and delete all the numbers, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

looks like some connection has shifted and it now acts as if you are pressing the two keys at tht time. Send it in for repair.

This isn't intended to be rude and I hope you won't take it that way, but...this is one of the funniest threads I've ever seen. I love how your first post was sort of bad, the second was bad and the third is almost impossible to read.

I hope you get it fixed and I hope it doesn't cost you too much, but this thread is just gold.
 
But this is total proof of that thing that says that the brain only proccesses first and last letters..im typing badly cuz i broke my arm
 
I agree!

I don't mean to laugh at bad misfortune but this is really quite funny!

I'm thinking the repair option also... lol
