  1. Keyboard keys randomly stop working and starts working


    Currently on my 6 year old Dell Inspiron r15, my Tab, Caps lock and left shift are no longer working I believe I've already made a post asking for fixes but It didn't really matter that much anymore. However now the X key is having problems and will die out at random times, only to get spam a few hundred times before working. I've tried troubleshooting which helped none and uninstalling and reinstalling my keyboard using device manager, which also didn't work. I haven't tried using an external keyboard yet since the only other keyboard I have is other laptops or smart phone's on screen keybo

    random keyboard keys stop working?

    i went out today and everything was fine, i come home and three random keys stopped working, maybe more i havent noticed yet. the three key on the left side of the keyboard not working, the left shift stopped working, and the enter key stopped working, but the one on the numpad works fine. no one was home to use it, nothing spilled on it, i tried it on another computer and same deal. im gonna go buy a new one tomorrow but it makes me sad cause i loved this keyboard lol, microsoft ergonomic 4000. ill probably buy the same exact one if its in stock tomorrow, this one lasted or 4 years about. im just confused why three random keys spread out stopped working at the same time...seems very weird

  3. Keyboard Volume Keys not working while in-game

    I happen to have used the Tt Challenger Pro keyboard in the past, and the volume keys worked flawlessly in every game, so it's indeed a weird problem. I would suggest the same thing sneekypeet suggested, using the keyboard software and assign this function to a hotkey, but you said that didn't work either, so yeah...

    Keyboard randomly stopped working

    My built in laptop keyboard stopped working after the computer randomly turned off by itself.

    (Laptop is a Lenovo Ideapad).

    I have tried:

    Uninstalling drivers and scanning for hardware changes to reinstall them.

    Entering safe mode (computer wouldn’t even start in safe mode).

    Entering the BIOS to see if there were any changes I could make there (there weren’t).

    Now I am getting Code 19 and Code 12 errors for the keyboard in Device Manager.

    I’ve tried all troubleshooting steps on many websites, and nothing works.

    External keyboards work when I plug them in.

    Please help!!
