   Oh no! I have no clue, but I hope it gets fixed as mysteriously as it arrived!

   I wouldn’t be sure about that… My first idea was that the Lock Num key (or whatever its name in English) would be, well, locked; it happened to me last week when booting the laptop. On the other hand, keys weren’t double-mapped when I had this problem, so in your case I’m not sure if it may be that. The affected keys at least look like the same ones that bear the numbers on my own keyboard.

   (And yes, I’m a little stupid and naive when it comes to laptops… I’ve never used any until two weeks ago. Sorry if this seems like lame advice!)

   I have the same problem. My spacebar makes my computer go to sleep. then there is the shift, backspace and the 1 key. All these go to websites. If you find out how to fix this problem please let me know.
