Common complaint - HP notebook keyboard b, n, 7 keys not working.

[JerseyDevil13]

Both my keyboard and my daughter's keyboard (same laptop model, bought at the same time) have issues where the b, n and 7 keys no longer (or rarely) work (along with some other keys). I have used HP PC Diagnostics and tried numerous troubleshooting suggestions from the HP community, etc. A google search indicates this is a frequent complaint. What is HP doing to resolve this issue as it appears to be a failure on HP's part? Is replacing the keyboard the only way to resolve this issue?

If you have tried all the steps and if the issue persists.

As this is a hardware issue, I'd suggest you Contact HP in your region regarding the service options for your computer. 

If you are having trouble navigating through the above options, it's most likely because the device is out of warranty.
