  1. How to fix computer keyboard that intermittently stops working?


    I have a new computer 4 mos. old and on several occasions, the keyboard locks up and I am unable to type/edit/delete, etc. What is causing this to occur? At first I thought it was due to network issues but then if I use two different computers side by side on the same site, I don't have the same issue with the other computer. Once I shut down and restart, the issue seems to resolve itself but I never know when it will happen again.

  2. Built in keyboard not working

    I recently purchased an ASUS ROG GL553VD Notebook Computer and a few weeks ago the keyboard stopped working. After a few restarts it worked again, but today the problem came back, and was not fixed by any amount of restarting. Several people on past posts said to reinstall they Keyboard driver, but there was no Keyboard section in the Device Manager. I am currently resetting the laptop to factory settings to see if that fixes the issue. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Surface book keyboard intermittently stops working

    My surface book keyboard intermittently stops working. I have tried updating and rebooting, cleaning the connectors, charging up the battery, and nothing seems to fix the issue. The only button that
    always works is the button that allows me to disconnect the surface from the keyboard. When I reconnect it the keyboard usually works again but will eventually give out once more. I've also found if I click the mouse repeatedly the keyboard will once again
    work for a short period . Any idea how to fix this problem??

    keyboard stopped working after bootup in windows 10

    Hi Thomas,

    There may be a number of reasons why a keyboard would suddenly stop functioning properly. Kindly provide answers to the information listed below, so we could further assess on this issue:

    • Are you getting any error messages that could pertain to your keyboard?
    • What are the troubleshooting steps you have done so far?
    • Are there any noticeable physical damages on the keyboard?
    • Is the keyboard connected to the PC wired or wireless?
    • Does this issue happen intermittently, or all the time?
    Please advise. We'll keep an eye out to your response.
