So today, I am using my Windows 7 Home Premium Laptop as I do when I suddenly notice that some keys aren't working on my keyboard.
1 - Key at the top does not work but with Num Lock, works on the right pad.
Two - Key does not work at all. Not at the top. Not on the right.
3 - Doesn't work on top. But does on the right.
4 - Doesn't work on top. But does on the right.
5 - Works on top and right.
6 - Works on top and right.
7 - Doesn't work on top. But does on the right.
8 - Doesn't work on top. But does on the right.
9 - Doesn't work on top. But does on the right.
Zero - Key does not work at all. Not at the top. Not on the right.
EDIT: For the record, it's the number keys that don't work, hence the 1, Two, 3, 4 ect.
I have not spilled anything on the Keyboard. Even if I did, It wouldn't explain why some keys don't work on the Right Number Pad when others do.
I have already tried a reboot and a system restore. No luck. I am about to reboot again as the computer needs to do upates due to me system restoring. Any ideas what's up?
Someone has already suggested something else where. I will copy and paste that.
Senpo suggested: Maybe there's dust and because of it they stopped working?
Maybe try cleaning?
I replied with: That's a possibility. I don't want to start pulling keys off though, in case I cause damage and find out that they don't have a dust problem. Another reason is that I Googled the problem and a number of people have had issues with the exact same keys. Someone said they found a solution which was to press CTRL, FN and F1. But when I did that, I ended up putting the Laptop to sleep. I'm kinda hoping that I've just accidentally pressed a few wrong buttons and changed the settings. I'm also hoping that it isn't a progressive and eventually a computer life threatening problem. Only had the Laptop for a few months.
