Right, i have washed my laptop this morning, and now when i am typing random numbers are coming up on certain letters i type. for example:

caps lock = 2
y = y7
t = t4

this will fix itself won't it?

Umm, maybe.

What do you mean you washed your laptop?

You shouldnt have washed the keyboard like that, it might start working normal again when it drys out though, you can buy a proper spray for cleaning the keyboard for about a quid out any shop that sells print cartridges etc, so don't be so stingy next time

It won't clean it well enough

try going to control panel>language>keyboard & check the settings or remap the keys.
