Spectre X2
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi,

 

My Spectre X2 Keyboard suddenly started to have issues with a number of keys. All was working properly until yesterday when I detached the keybaord for a few minutes then snapped it back. I noticed that certain keys were not working anymore (q,w,e,r,u,ı,o,p,L-shift,left arrow, down arrow). I detached and reattached it a few times and it came back, but shortly thereafter those keys stopped working again. 

Here's what I've tried so far:

  • I tried upgrading my drivers, I reset the PC
  • I connected an external keyboard which works perfectly
  • I thoroughly cleaned the connectors with a dry cloth
  • There was no physical damage done to the keyboard (spills, falls, etc)
  • I restarted Windows in command prompt to see if they work, but they wouldn't

So far it looks like a hardware issue, but I don't understand how that could happen all of a sudden 😕

Is there anything else I should try?

Thanks a lot.
