Hi @Doomsnap,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

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

Thanks for explaining your situation. It sounds like you're dealing with a keyboard malfunction on your HP laptop, especially affecting the top row of letters (Q to P, except T and Y) and the Shift key, after a motherboard replacement. 

 Here's What You Can Try

1. Check for Keyboard Driver Issues

• Press Win + X → Device Manager.
• Expand Keyboards → Right-click your keyboard → Uninstall device.
• Restart your laptop. Windows will reinstall the driver automatically.

2. Use HP Hardware Diagnostics

Even without a serial number, you can still run diagnostics:

• Turn off your laptop.
• Press Esc repeatedly, then F2 to enter HP PC Hardware Diagnostics.
• Run the Keyboard Test to check for hardware faults.

3. Test with an External USB Keyboard

• If an external keyboard works fine, the issue is likely with the built-in keyboard hardware or its connection to the new motherboard.

4. Check Keyboard Ribbon Cable

Since your motherboard was replaced, it’s possible the keyboard ribbon cable wasn’t seated properly. This would require opening the laptop again—best done by a technician.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
