Sounds like the laptop keyboard went bad and thats why its typing wrong characters. Best way to verify this is to use a USB keyboard on the laptop, if the USB keyboard is typing the correct keys then you know the laptop keyboard is bad. If the USB keyboard is typing the wrong keys as well then you know its a setting in windows that is causing the keys to type wrong characters.

I am having problems with my keyboard. When I plug in an external keyboard, everything works fine, when I use the keyboard on my laptop, the characters are wrong.

Remove the keyboard from the system and plug it back in. If that doesn't work you will have to replace the keyboard. Ebay for less than $20 for a keyboard.

Try the "On-Screen" keyboard to see if it types the wrong characters as well. If not, then you have a bad keyboard.

I can't type @, # and ~ on my laptop

You may have your NumLock enabled. That will make you type whatever blue characters are on the keys instead. Press your NumLock (sometimes Num Lk) button and see if that helps.

If that's not the case then you probably have the wrong keyboard profile enabled in Control Panel. (Thinks you are using a foreign keyboard layout of some sort.) If the above solution doesn't wok, open up the Regional and Language Options from Control Panel, select the Languages tab, and press the Details button under the Text services and input languages section. Make sure everything in there applies to you.
