Hi, in my MacBook Air the keys - q, w, e, r, t, y, u, i, o are malfunctioning and typing weird symbols. I previously gave it to an Apple service centre and they asked me to replace my Mac's battery. And yet the issue still persists. I appreciate the methods given in the video but, I've already tried all of them several times and nothing helps... If you could kindly help me out...

Many thanks for saving my mac. Those strange symbols were driving me crazy. Your option 3 worked for me. Many thanks indeed. Wishing you all the best!

Hello can you please help me? Whenever I try to type the “U” “I” and “O” letters, it seems like it won’t let me type them and they don’t appear, this isn’t an issue in the actual keyboard, the issue is in the computer itself because i tested this out with a different keyboard that is connected to a cable and it wouldn’t type the letters “E”, “I”, “O” and “U”. since it won’t type those letters I cant log into my mac anymore because my password contains the letter “I” and therefor i have to log in to the Guest Account. I have tried multiple solutions including restarting my computer multiple times, unplugging my computer and plugging it back in, shutting off my computer and then back on multiple times and also turning my keyboard on and off multiple times but it still won’t type those certain letters. This issue appeared yesterday but it wouldn’t let me type the “M” letter instead and whenever I typed the “G” letter it would just come out as a weird symbol..I gave up and shut down my keyboard and computer and went to bed and when I woke up and turned on my computer and my keyboard and typed those letters they worked again but then the problem switched over to the “I” “U” and “O” letters and no matter how many times i restart the computer/keyboard it won’t let me type them in. (i know this was a long paragraph and i apologize for it but can some people please kindly help me out so that i can resolve this annoying issue?)

None of these fixed my two-week-old Macbook Pro. I called Apple and got the worse tech I have ever encountered in over 20 years of calling Apple. He had no clue. He had a terrible accent and I'm not being an asshole about it because I am currently learning Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Arabic. He had no business being in tech support. In the end and after over an hour, he recommended I return the Mac for a new one. This morning, I looked at the top of the screen and noticed that my American flag was no longer present. This flag is used to toggle between American English and Latin American Spanish keyboards. It must have been toggled somehow as I was typing. One click fixed the problem.

But I’m on login screen and can’t put my password :(

Don't know how it became active, I was simply typing away on Discord, and suddenly my keys started coming up as the Option-key special characters. Out of all these options, the only thing that worked was resetting my NV-Ram. Thank goodness, for that. Goodness, Apple, I've never experienced this technical difficulty, before. Brand new Macbook Air, too, barely 2 months old.

hello for some reason my mac only has the input sources option but not the change keyboard option. enabling then disabling the sticky keys work but only for a short while, then it starts typing symbols again. and by a short while I mean just a couple of letters or secs. example I will type as far as I can as I have just recently reset the sticky keys from this point: ´≈˚˚˚˚˚˙ƒ∂å example example example examp¬´∆ß∆ß∆ I also cannot hold down a letter to type many the same letter repeatedly I have to keep retyping it.

THANK YOU!! I messed something up WHILE cleaning my keyboard, such that I kept getting a bracket when I pressed the left-hand shift button, and a "+" sign every time I pressed the right-hand shift button. Your solution #2 saved the day!!!
