Keyboard types a different symbol than what is pressed

Hello Jojolaguitare,

my PC is new, and... I just plugged in a wireless keyboard and no, that one doesn't work either...

Electronic circuit on the motherboard... I hope they won't keep it for 6 months!
In any case, thank you for your help!

Hello.

>>> I have a new Acer laptop <<<

New or second-hand? . . . Do all the other letter and number keys work well? (in AZERTY)

If it's new, there's no hesitation >>> return it to customer service

If it's second-hand, you can uninstall the keyboard via the device manager and then restart the PC. The driver will reinstall itself. But I fear that the problem will remain the same.

In both cases, plug in an external USB keyboard and check if the problem persists. If it doesn't, then it’s the laptop's keyboard that has the issue, but if the problem remains identical, it will definitely be more serious (electronic circuit for the keyboard part on the motherboard)

Hi . . .

It's no use running; you have to leave on time . . .

Good evening.
Is the keyboard a Belgian AZERTY?

Is it a laptop or a desktop keyboard?

Could you type an example of the character lines as below in lowercase
azertyuiop^$
qsdfghjklmù*
<wxcvbnn,;:!

 Very difficult to catch a black cat in a dark room.
                              Especially when it isn't there...

Good evening Baladur,

Here it is:

²&é"'(-è_çà)= ²1234567890°+

azertyuiop^$ AZERTYUIOP¨£

qsdfghjklmù* QSDFGHJKLM%µ

<wxcvbn,;:! <WXCVBN?./§

There are quite a few letters that are not in their place...

Best regards,
Cos

Good evening Baladur,

I just found the solution! And you helped me by guiding me towards the deepening of keyboards:

Control Panel ---> Clock, Language, Region ---> Language ---> Language Options ---> Input method.

And there, I found French (Belgium) - Belgian Keyboard (comma).!!!

In fact, it's confusing. There's that one, but there's also: French (Belgium) - French Keyboard. That's the one I was connected to, and it wasn't working..

Thank you very much, have a great weekend,
Cos

I conclude that you probably have a Belgian keyboard but that your computer is configured with a French France keyboard...
Do the same manipulation... without trying to get what I typed
type in the order from left to right the top line and then proceeding to the lower lines all the lines of the keyboard in white on this image
first in lowercase and then once again in uppercase

 Very difficult to catch a black cat in a dark room.
 Especially when it isn't there...

To Baladur,
I took care to separate the two columns of letters while typing, but when I sent the message, they got stuck together...

A baladur,
I forgot to tell you that after your first response, when I typed the 3 lines, I didn’t try to type the same letters as you; those are really the ones my keyboard typed...

To confirm, draw a line of characters with the top line while holding down the AltGr key
a French keyboard gives ~#{[|`\^@]}
The @ sign in France is printed on the 0 key, whereas @ in Belgium is on the 2 key,é,@
