key-mapping

I have a Sony VGN-CR353 running Windows 7 Ultimate.

For typing purposes I use two keyboards:

The Inbuilt Laptop Keyboard
A Standard External Desktop Grade USB Keyboard

Since yesterday, My inbuilt keyboard's keys have gone all awry. This is Similar to http://superuser.com/questions/11537/keyboard-keys-not-working-or-resulting-in-the-wrong-key

But the high point is that the external keyboard is working just fine. I have already tried System Restore, Reinstalling Keyboard Drivers etc. but to no avail.

This is really bugging. Please Help. Thanks in Advance.
