HP Laptop 15-da0xxx My backspace key and number pad don't work as expected. How do I fix it?

[Andrew4400]

 Some of my laptop's keyboard doesn't as intended. The backspace inputs an asterisk instead of deleting and if you hold it, it will continues to throw asterisk. The numlock inputs a minus sign and makes space input 5 instead of spacing. It doesn't work as normal. I tried resetting the laptop, but that didn't work. I tried to check for new updates for drivers, but there was none. I tried resetting the keyboard driver, but that as well didn't work. I tried to do that language pack, but that as well didn't work. What should I do?

Hi @Andrew4400,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to assist you.

I see that you are facing an issue with your Laptop keyboard.

A) Perform a power drain on your PC.

1) Unplug the power cord from the PC & wall.

2) Disconnect the power cable from the AC adapter if it is a detachable part and keep it aside.

3) Press and hold the power button down for 15 seconds and release the power button, wait for about 30 seconds.

4) Plug the power cord back into the AC adapter, then connect it to the wall and to the charging port on your PC.

5) Power on the PC and wait for it to boot into Windows.

B) Update the BIOS for your PC by clicking on the link and let me know if that resolves the issue.

Make sure you keep only the charger plugged in while updating the BIOS for your PC.

Click on the + sign next to BIOS and then download the file.

Open the file and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the update.

C) If the issue still persists, refer to the steps on this link to further troubleshoot.
