I've seen this question asked before on sites, but I have not seen any where someone had the problem right after they replaced their keyboard. I replaced my laptop computer keyboard because the m key didn't work anymore, when I clicked it nothing was outputted.

After I replaced the old keyboard with a new one, not only are some keys not typing out anything, but some keys are typing out letters that they aren't supposed to type. On top of this, right after I restarted the computer after I put in the new keyboard, the motor of the computer isn't sounding right. Instead of making the normal "humming" noise that is usually does, now it makes a noise where it sounds like it is "clogged" (it's hard to describe.) I'm completely baffled as to why the motor is doing that right after I put the keyboard in. It can't be a coincidence.

Thanks

Exact specifications of your laptop would be necessary to start to diagnose, but it sounds like you may have replaced it with the wrong keyboard or an incompatible third-party (non-OEM) replacement board that isn't working correctly.
