    Both shift keys

    Hello.
    I have problem with Lenovo Idea Pad 100 laptop (OS: WIN10). After replacing HDD into SSD I faced a strange problem. Both Shifts of the keyboard doesn‘t work .
    I have tried to:
    • Check if sticky keys are off. They are off.
    • Connect external keyboard via USB port. Shift keys on external keyboard works good.
    • Check the keyboard on online tester which indicates pressed buttons. It can‘t indicate press of the shift
    • Change several different input languages. The problem is on all of them.
    • Reinstall keyboard driver
    • Check if connection is OK. It is OK.
    • Tried to run computer without screws (I have read in one forum that screws could touch the keyboard from the bottom and it wouldn‘t operate normal)
    I believe that keyboard is not damaged because connector damage could cause just exact part of keyboard failure, while it is impossible to do physical damage for both shifts. Any solutions?

    SHIFT KEY WINDOWS TEN

    Hi,



    Welcome and thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    We regret the inconvenience caused to you.

    Let us try the following steps, and check if it helps.

    Step 1: Safe Mode.

    Safe mode is a diagnostic mode for Windows that starts your computer in a limited state. Only the basic files and drivers necessary to run Windows are started. This helps us in identifying whether the issue is due to some third party programs
    conflict. The word Safe mode appear in the concern of your monitor to identify which windows mode you are using.



    Follow the below steps:

    • At the login screen, click the Power button and press
      Restart
      by holding down the Shift key on the keyboard.
    • When the computer restarts, click Troubleshoot.
    • Click Advanced options and then Startup Settings.
    • Now click Restart. Press F4 on the keyboard to select and boot into
      Safe Mode.


    Step 2: Hardware and Devices Troubleshooter.

    I suggest you to run hardware and devices troubleshooter and check.


      • Type troubleshooting in the search box on taskbar.

      • Click on Troubleshooting in the search results.

      • Click on Hardware and Sound and select
        Hardware and Devices and click on Next to run the troubleshooter.


    Also, refer: Hardware devices are not working or are not detected in Windows

    (Applies to Windows 10 as well)



    Hope it helps.



    Let us know the status, we are glad to assist you further.
