I think macbook has a big issue with its product reliability

my keyboards all wild now

when I press A this happens : "as" or "ƒ©˙∆˚¬∆˚¬" or "adfs"
when I press 1 this happens : "1234" or "12345" or "123456" ....
when I press Q this happens : "eqrtw" or "eqwIOU",,,,
when I press Z this happens : "zbcnvxz" or strange behviour
bckspce button also switches the screen (desktop)
the thing I ssume it is not spoiling problem is cause "Fn" + key works fine (such as delete key"

any suggestions? I can open my mcbook wrrnty is over, nd this problem exists in windows too (bootcmp).

It sounds like liquid damage, but anyway, to rule out hardware, try repairing disk permissions, and restart.
If still not functioning properly, download and install the Combo update that applies to the version of OS X you are using.
10.4.11
Mac OS X 10.4.11 Combo Update (Intel)
10.5.8
Mac OS X 10.5.8 Combo Update
10.6.3
Mac OS X v10.6.3 v1.1 Update (Combo)

I opened and cleaned the notebook, I personally believe it is hardware issue, but not just individual keys, but some special connector, which connects the "1qaz" column and "backspace" which people who may be familiar with mac keyboard architecture could know if they share same line or not!
after messing with keyboard connector for a while, it seems the problem is temporarily solved, I may, try open the connector, Nitrogen gas blow it in university and connect it again to see the result
I am currently downloading the update, and I will try it too.
thnx for suggestions

APPLE should be concerned more about their products reliability.
