That sounds like either a motherboard problem decoding the key signals or a splash of soft drink on the keyboard. Either one is a factory return item. The other possibility is that a virus wrote itself into the BIOS, but the chances of this on a laptop are remote indeed as many do not even have a falsh capability for the BIOS, and those that do are not particularly standard in how it is implemented.
