HP pavilion G6 Keyboard not working partially

[Sahil4]

Some keys of my keyboard have stopped working suddenly. These include the entire F1 - F12 line , N,C  and 6,7 on numeric keypad. Is there a solution or is it a hardware related issue and  i need to replace it. How much cost would i have to incur in order to replace entire keyboard or the specific non -workable keys..

Yes i had used it once with slightly wet hands . But there was no spill. So should i follow the same procedure?

You can perform all the troubleshooting steps shown above and check if that resolves the issue if not this could be a hardware issue

Please feel free to revert for further assistance

I too have  similar issue.
Thanks for the suggested troubleshooting tips, however, as the original post stated, none of the function keys work so pressing F10, F9 or F5 is difficult.

Hi

I had a similar problem with an HP Pavilion g6 Windows 8, with A,S,D K,L, and main return keys not working. I followed your troubleshooting path and now the keyboard doesn't work at all. Any advice would be gratefully received.

Hello,

All of a sudden Few keys have stopped functioning.

Due to this issue, I am unable to input the user credentials (password) too and unable to login in turn.

What are the options next?

Is there any way to disable the user from BIOS setup, so I can atleast login and then go for update drivers etc?

OS: Windows 7.

HP experts are requested to share some ideas at the earliest/urgently.

Rgds,

Bhaskar

@TimLT

According to the message you have recently posted I would like to confirm that this is a hardware issue and the whole keyboard assembly needs to be replaced to resolve the issue. I strongly recommend you to Contact HP Technical Support over the Phone for further assistance to get your Notebook diagnosed and serviced by an authorized HP Certified Engineer

You can also Check your warranty Here to verify the warranty status

Hi,

I'm having similar issue, but one additional point is, due to few non-functioning keys I'm unable to enter the users' password and login to the laptop.

Is there any way to disable the user account from BIOS setup, so I can get entry into laptop and browse the control panel troubleshooting steps?

Thanks for the suggestions.

You can use an external keyboard to type in the password. We cannot disable user account from BIOS

Hope this helps
