Welcome to HP Forums, 

This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips, 

Thank you for posting your query, I'll be more than glad to help you out 🙂 

As I understand the keyboard no longer works though you've attempted a reset and it didn't work,

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details: 

Did you follow any HP article to attempt a reset?

If you haven't, try these precise set of steps to resolve the issue:

1. With the computer powered off, press and hold the Volume down button  and Power button  at the same time.

   Figure : Power, Brightness, and Volume buttons

   1. Volume up  and down  buttons

   2. Brightness up  and down  buttons

   3. Power button 

2. When an HP logo appears on the screen, release the buttons.

   After a few seconds, the Android system Fast boot menu appears.

3. Use the Volume down button  or the pg dn arrow key to move the highlighted selection to Recovery mode.
