Keyboard malfunction,hardware or software problem?

Okay so i know this is not the keyboard itself because i have replaced it and didn't fix the problem. Scanned my whole computer and found no viruses, what the problem is, is that if i were to press key "3" that's above letter "E" it would show up as ".74231" if i press letter "E" the results i get are "hge9+" also the caps lock and spacebar act like this, not every key but about a handful of them do. I have already tried the "fn" "num lk" technique but it still does it.

"Had a similar problem with Shift “p” in order to print “P” I get “P&$@#!” instead and I get 74231 if I try to type “p”. The backspace also gives me sometimes 74231 and the cursor jumps to the begining of the line.

I actually had replaced the battery short time ago with a higher and stronger battery because there is no battery similar to the original one. It looks like the new battery fried the laptop."
