Okay, my keyboard's doing funny stuff and I have been really lazy so I haven't brought it in to BestBuy yet (though I do have a warranty). Is there a fix for this thing (btw, I've tried reformatting my HD already, so I have a blank state... it started all of a sudden, like during an e-mail I was typing and it's been like this ever since, only reverting back to normal keyboard operation once, I think it's permanent now though)?

Regular keyboard - "Normal keyboard would type this."
My keyboard - "norjmal. k,eyboardc woul.dc type thisx"

On certain letters like 'k', or 's', it would type the adjacent letter to it...

Great, I just tore off the shift key because I thought that was what the problem was. Now I can get it back on :(. Hrmm, I hope that didn't just void my warranty.

Ouch...

Try to fit it back. Did you break the plastic that attaches the key to the keyboard?
