You hit the number lock button... it's the one that says 'num lk' near the number pad. Press it and it's fixed.

Funny you should mention thius. Just yesterday I managed to screw up myjkeyboard by spilling drink on it. Now I am pretty good with computers so I opened it up (so I could dry it) but even after it was dry I had a really fun time finding out that some key presses were in fact other ey presses. Some of them multiple. Like most numbers at the top actually were 3 key presses but I couldnt tell what as keys were coming up in circles (windows security).

So in your case letters have been replaced by numbers? That is odd.

You can get a keyboard pretty cheap though. Like $30NZ dollar easily.

If you turned on numb lock then you could try turning it off.
But, if its a different key, try using the FN button near the control, windows, and alt keys.
Otherwise, have someone check it out.
