Pavilion x360
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello there,

 

I am experiencing this issue that some of the keys (eg: B/N/Delete/PrtScr) in my HP Pavilion x360 are not functioning. I suspected a driver issue and updated them and I am running Windows 10 Home 1909 x64. Now I suspect a hardware malfunction. Because I spilt water over the keyboard a couple of months back. But then it was fixed and was working fine. 

 

Now that I had used sanitisers to wipe clean the computer I have a suspect if it was the reason behind it. If so, is it possible to remove the keycaps and rub them using alcohol bud? (Note that I have a backlit keyboard) 

 

Or are there any possible reasons for this? Please let me know if there is any quick fix for this issue.

 

Your support in this regard is highly appreciated.

Thank you for posting on HP Support Community.
 

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, I have a few troubleshooting steps we could try to fix the issue:  

  1. Download the latest version of HP PC Hardware Diagnostics.

  2. In Windows, search for and right-click HP PC Hardware Diagnostics for Windows, and then select Run as administrator.

    Run HP PC Hardware Diagnostics Windows as an administrator

  3. Click Component Tests, click Input Devices, and then select the Keyboard Test.

    Running the Keyboard Test

  4. Click Run once to begin the test.

    The test ends when you complete the tasks or after 3 minutes.

For more information about using the HP PC Hardware Diagnostics for Windows, go to HP PCs - Testing for Hardware Failures.
 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
