Keyboard Issues 'Sleeping' Keys

[norfie123456]

Hopefully you guys can help me. I've encountered some 'sleeping' keys that just dont appear to want to work for no real reason. This also applies to the number pad, where only certain numbers will register. Is there anything in the BIOS I need to do to reset my keyboard? Or are there any reasons why it's stopped working all of a sudden, or any other fixes I can try? I've already tried the battery removal trick that other forums have mentioned but this hasn't worked in my case. I've also tried the driver reinstall through device manager as well but this hasn't worked either. Same goes for the 'floating keys' option I think it is in the Windows 10 settings menu. I'm at a real loss as to why they have stopped working, so any suggestions or fixes would be appreciated!!

Thanks in advance!

@norfie123456 Welcome to HP Community!

I understand that the keyboard is not working properly.

Do not worry. I will try to fix the issue.

Please uninstall the keyboard drivers from the device manager and update the BIOS.

If the issue still persists, please perform the keyboard test and check.

1. Power off the PC and make sure that it is completely powered off.

2. Press the power button and the moment you press the power button immediately start tapping F2 key, you should see the system diagnostics screen.

3. Look for the component test, under that all the hardware will be listed, please choose Keyboard and initiate the quick test.

Note: If it fails it will generate a 24 digits alphanumeric failure id, please capture that.

Keep us posted,

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I did get an error code even I conducted this test. I'd attach an image of the code but I'm not sure how on the forum.

Either way this is the code I got:

I'm hoping this may be an easy fix and I'm keeping my fingers crossed. If you need anymore details about the machine or code please let me know. 

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks again for a speedy reply. I've discovered that I can no longer extend my product warranty with HP. I still want to get the machine fixed though. How and where can I arrange for this to happen?

Thanks
