    'W' and '2' Keys not working at random. Laptop was damaged & repaired in the past, but...


    As the title states, the W and 2 keys have stopped working correctly on my laptop. Sometimes they work as normal, others they're incapable of maintaining a held input, others they don't work at all. There doesn't appear to be anything under either key, but I'm hesitant to try removing them as I don't know if I can easily re-attach them on this model. My computer suffered electrical damage back in the spring, but thankfully it was still on warranty at the time. I took it back to the retailer and they sent if off and had it repaired. At the time no issue with anything but the motherboard was not

    Random Keys Not Working

    After updating to Windows10, random keys on my keyboard(a normal, attached keyboard. I have a laptop) just don't work. The keys are the number two key, the number one key, and the space bar. If you're wondering how I'm typing this, I googled "one" or "two" and copied and pasted. Same with every space. I've never had this problem before, please help.

    random restarts

    Hi,

    If a Windows computer random restarts, the device usually have some damaged system components. For us to provide an accurate solution, we would need you to answer the following questions:

    • Which build, version and edition of Windows is installed on your computer?
    • What changes have you made to the device before this issue occurred?
    • What troubleshooting steps was already performed to your laptop?

    In the meantime, it will be best to make sure that the latest update of Windows is installed on your device. If the same issue happens after installing Windows Update, we suggest running the power troubleshooter. To do so, follow these steps:

    • Open the Control Panel.
    • Using the search bar at the upper-right corner, type troubleshooting.
    • From the search results, click on Troubleshooting and then select System and Security.
    • Click on Power and then follow the prompts to successfully run the tool.

    We are looking forward to your response.
