When I type he following, I get the result in parentheses:

  • r (r=)
    f (f or nothing)
    v (v+)
    R (R+)
    V (V")

The numlock won't stay "locked" and the 5 sometimes messes up as well. I found it weird that they are all in a vertical line - anything I can do to fix this?

I'm assuming these errors happen the same way in all programs. It sounds like you need to replace the keyboard. Was there a spill on the keyboard at any point? A laptop keyboard must be matched exactly to the make and model it is made for (though any USB keyboard can be plugged in and used).
