"R" key barely working

[Roki25]

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.

1. Download the latest version of HP PC Hardware Diagnostics.

2. In Windows, search for and right-click HP PC Hardware Diagnostics for Windows, and then select Run as administrator.

   

3. Click Component Tests, click Input Devices and then select the Keyboard Test.

   

4. 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.
