"R" key barely working

I got this laptop about 4 months ago and I really like it. A problem I've been having since of late is that the "r" key is barely responsive. It's come to the point where right now I have "r" in my clipboard and I'm typing it by using "ctrl + v'". I tried changing language pack on the keyboard, ran the hadware diagnosis fo keyaboard (which failed), and have turned it off and held the start button for a minute and still the problem persists.
This is getting very frustating as this key is very common. What can I do?

Thank you for posting on HP Support Community.
Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, I have a few troubleshooting steps we could try to fix the issue:
Use HP PC Hardware Diagnostics to complete functional test of the keyboard and identify any problems with the hardware.
NOTE: Bluetooth devices are not currently supported.
-
Download the latest version of HP PC Hardware Diagnostics.
-
In Windows, search for and right-click HP PC Hardware Diagnostics for Windows, and then select Run as administrator.
-
Click Component Tests, click Input Devices and then select the Keyboard Test.
-
Click Run once to begin the test.
The test ends when you complete the tasks or after 3 minutes.
For more information about using the HP PC Hardware Diagnostics for Windows, go to HP PCs - Testing for Hardware Failures.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
