Semi-colon/colon key not working

I have Lion on a Macbook Pro and all of a sudden I realized my colon key is not working at all.


Any thoughts?

Here are other issues I found today and things I have tried


Issues


  • Numbers are not showing correctly, but characters are.
  • Control, option, shift keys are all ok
  • All the numbers are displaying themselves along with a function or symbol.


For example if I hit 1 it also shows the volume display. If I touch the volume display it will type a 1. If I type a 4 it looks like this 4] and hitting the ] types 4]. So something is interchangable. I can delete the added character as well.


Steps I've taken


  • Tried option, control, shift to restart while plugged to the power (called Apple for this recommendation)
  • Pram restart, although I accidently held it for 3 chimes
  • Called Apple
  • Check system Pref languages
  • Did a hardware check & came up with no issues


I know I can take it in, but work from home and really need items to be functioning over the weekend. Any thoughts?
