    The input barely registers, and when it does it usually registers multiple timesrepeated S's, etcI've cleaned it extensively with a can of air, and do not have filter or sticky keys on- still the same issuemaking this a pain in the rear to type out.. Laptop model is an Acer A515-43-R19L, which means taking this apart to get a better look at the keyboard is a hassle I'm not equipped to handle.

    I have to hold down keys for them to work, Laptop Alienware Issues

    Hello, Whenever I'm using my Alienware Laptop I have a few issues with the Keyboard

    • Some of the Keys that are 3, and 5, and the dot (.) will together randomly stop working, if I hold them down for around 30 seconds or more or less they'll all begin working for around a minute or several before I have to do it again (Though the times are mostly random)
    • My T key will randomly not work and I'll have to hold it down for it to start typing again (Though the times are mostly random)
    • All of my other keys work perfectly fine with no issues
    I've checked settings, I've reinstalled my drivers, I've cleaned the keyboard, I've restarted and hard-shutoff so many times and I've looked online and I've found nothing, I really need help with this.

    Laptop will not boot at all, not even from DVD


    Hi, this is read from an HP forum, not ASUS- I've no idea if it applies.. but you can try it!
    Here are the steps:


    1. Turn off the computer.
    2. Hold down the windows key + b and power on the laptop without letting go.
    3. Here's the magic: while holding down windows key + b, then press F2.
    4. The laptop will enter BIOS recovery mode, and you should be all set from there.
