Unresponsive keyboard keys

Hi,

Im a owner of HP Omen 15, however a few keys namely: backspace, start, delete, plus(+) turned unresponsive.

Here are the things i tried out but in vain:

• Uninstalled and reinstalled keyboard drivers
  
• External USB keyboard worked flawlessly so perhaps hardware issue
  
• Cleaned the internals of the keys after taking them out
  
• Windows updated to latest version
  

None resolved this issue as such, any form of help/advice/guidance would be truly helpful.

Thanks.
