Hp 2000 laptop keyboard y is z and i get _ instead of question mark

http://www.insidemylaptop.com/hp-2000-laptop-disassembly/ Use steps 1, 2, and 8 - 15. Keyboard replacement is an easy job, just take your time and don't get frustrated when working through step 10. It can feel like you're about to break the KB but it is unlikely that you will.

Have you tried pressing the button "2" on your laptop? And have you tried pressing "Shift" and then "2"? If the number appears when pressing 2, but @ doesn't appear when pressing "Shift" and then "2", chances are your input language aren't correct. Go to Start > Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Languages Tab. There you can set the proper input language for your keyboard.

Try using the on-screen keyboard as well. Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > Accessibility > On-Screen Keyboard. If @ works there, then its possible your keyboard might be faulty.

use magnetic screw driver remove 3 screw from your laptop behind it marked with keyboard logo just pull out from front side of keyboard

Try the following tips;
1. Press Fn key once, release it and type on a notepad or etc....
2. Press Fn + Numlock (press simultaneous as you press ctrl+c to copy) once and test the type again.
This key combination is to activate and deactivate function key (Fn).

Good luck.

Thanks for using FixYa.

Look for the screw marked with a keyboard icon and removed them then you should be able to remove and replace the keyboard. Not too hard. You can get the service manual from HP if needed.

the keyboard might have gone bad
try checking with a different keyboard
unplug and replug the keyboard
if that doesnot work change the keyboard

Control panel>keyboard>settings. Double check that it is set to your country/language. Hope this helps!

your keyboard is in other language.
you just go to the note pad and check all the keys with shift and without shift key...
if not appers then copy the ? mark and past it where u want...??????????????

i think my idea help you

just see the option is given on your laptop keboard for locking and unlocking .

I suggest you swapout the keyboard with one you know works right. If the keyboard works with the Acer than the other is defective. It wouldn't hurt to unplug & reseat your current keyboard just to make sure its connected correctly.
