Hi!

My keyboard in my 2009 unibody MacBook Pro is acting up. All buttons don't give their correct symbol, even though the keyboard language is set for Danish (I've tried other languages as well).

An example:

USB Keyboard: 39 people jumped down
Internal keyboard: $}*∏∏fl*›˛∏˘*˘Ñ

Also, whenever pressing any button on the internal keyboard, it acts like the alt/option button (or similar) are pressed down; if pressing on the Notification Center icon in the menu bar, it grays out (deactivating Notification Center), and if opening a window, it hides all others. I can revert this by pressing Scroll Lock on the USB keyboard.

The onscreen keyboard shows these buttons as orange, both for the internal and the USB keyboard:

I wanted to restart the PRAM, but it doesn't seem to work with a USB keyboard, same goes for the hardware test.

Do anybody have some tips? I'd really appreciate it.
