*KEYBOARD PROBLEMS* - TouchSmart tx2z-1000 CTO Notebook

‎09-02-2009 05:08 PM

I'm a first-time HP customer and I've had my laptop for just over 2 months now.  It was working fine until 3 or so weeks ago when the keyboard started acting up.

 

The following keys no longer work:

  • "Esc"
  • " ~ "
  • "Tab"
  • "Caps Lock"
  • " F1"
  • "1"
  • "Q"
  • "A"
  • "Z"

 As you might have noticed, they're all on the left side of the keyboard.  I can only access these keys now when I open the on-screen keyboard.  It gets very difficult/irritating when you're trying to type something long.

 

At first, they would work on and off:

  1. I used to have to press the key I wanted to use really fast for a couple seconds and it'd "wake" back up.
  2. Then when that failed, I had to do the same thing only alternate with a working key really fast for a couple seconds before it'd "wake" back up.
  3. Now they've gone kaput completely.

 I'm hoping there's a solution for this that I can do on my own because I need this computer to use for college!!

 

Someone please help me!
