@Bullballs Welcome to HP Community!

 

I understand the keyboard is not working. 

 

Don't worry as I have a few suggestions which should help you resolve this issue.

 

Splendid effort and a fabulous description of the issue before posting. Kudos to you on that score. You are a valued HP customer and it is paramount to assist you here. I take it as a privilege to share this platform with you.

 

To provide you with an accurate solution, I'll need a few more details:

Have you recently made any changes on the PC before the issue started?

Have you tried to use an external keyboard and check if the issue persists?

Did you try to run a test on the keyboard from F2?

 

Perform a hard reset and check.

 

1) Shutdown the computer.  

2) Unplug all the Adapter and peripherals connected.  

3) Remove the Battery. ( not for Built-in Battery computer ) 

4) Press and hold down the power button for 15 to 20 seconds.  

5) Plug-in the Adapter and put the Battery back into the computer if it's a (removable battery)

6) Try to turn on the computer and check, If the issue persists continue next step

 

 

 

Many startup errors and other problems can be resolved by decreasing the amount of power stored in hardware components. Decreasing stored power is sometimes referred to as a "Hard Reset". Use the following steps to perform a hard reset on a computer:

  1. If Windows is open, click Start and then Shutdown.

    If Windows is not open and the computer has power, press and hold the power button on the computer until the computer shuts off.

  2. With the power off, disconnect the power cord from the back of the computer.

  3. With the power off and the power cord disconnected, press the power button on the computer for 5 seconds. The power light indicator on or near the power button might turn on briefly but then go out.

  4. Reconnect the power cord and turn on the power.

If you have an alternate USB External keyboard, you can try to connect to the computer and check if that works.

If the external keyboard works fine, this clearly indicates a possible failure with the Notebook keyboard.

If the external keyboard doesn't work either, then I would suggest you could try creating a new User account and followed by System restore, 

 

Keep us posted,
