Keyboard not working when connected to wifi, but works fine when airplane mode is on.

[prashantsingh75]

I have a HP 15-d005tu laptop. The keyboard has suddenly stopped working when I connect to Wifi, but starts working when the airplane mode is turned on. When I connect to wifi I have to use the on-screen keyboard which really slows my work. Please help.

This is a great location to get assistance! I read your post and see that you are getting issues in using keyboard when connected to Wi-Fi. I would like to help you resolve this issue. 

However, I will need a few details to provide an accurate solution,

• When did this issue start?
• Did you do any hardware or software changes?

Meanwhile:

Update the bios and keyboard driver.

Thank you for your prompt reply, and I am really sorry for replying late.

I am facing this problem since last year. As a solution, I updated the keyboard driver but it didn't help. I even used System Restore and it helped with the keyboard problem but not for a longer duration. Then I left doing anything and was using onscreen keyboard whenever necessary.

My WiFi was not working beforee this problem occured. I had to change the Wifi Adaptor. That is the only hardware change I have done, nothing else, and there was no software changes ever done on my laptop.

 I will be following the steps you have recommended and will let you know about the results.
Thank you.

Hello,

Hope you are doing good. I am sorry again for replying late. I was busy with my exams and was using my phone instead.

Some days back, I faced a new problem in my laptop. The audio was not working. I played a video file and there was no sound. I checked for the speakers in the component/ hardware test and the speakers were fine. But still there was no audio on playing any video files or games.

When I switched on the laptop today, at first there was no audio but minutes later it started working and is still working fine.

I have updated the BIOS as recommended by you. But i didn't found the drivers for Keyboard. Under the Keyboard drivers there are drivers for Alps touchpad, Synaptics touchpad. So what should I do for the Keyboard drivers. And also note that after updating the BIOS the problem is still there with the keyboard. It doesn't work on connecting with the wifi and also it doesn't work when the Airplane Mode is off. I have to always keep the Airplane Mode on to make sure the keyboard works.

Please help.
