Hello everyone,
I have a problem in the keyboard of my HP Pavilion G6, some buttons do not respond, in my case (T, and Y, and CTRL), And when I find only one button responds, all other buttons respond too!
I tried to clean the keyboard, reinstall the driver, format the PC, but without result, and also I used a USB keyboard and the same problems, so the problem is not hardware, it's software
Help me please ?!
Solved! Go to Solution.

Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.
I have a few troubleshooting steps we could try to fix the issue:
Let's perform a Hard reset on the notebook: A power reset (or hard restart) clears all information from the computer's memory without erasing any personal data.
Next Step: BIOS Defaults - (After hard reset follow the below steps while starting the computer)
1) Shutdown the computer.
2) Turn the computer back on again and repeatedly tap on the ESC until a Startup menu appears.
3) Press F10 once for BIOS.
4) Press F9 for BIOS defaults.
5) Press F10 to save and exit. If the issue persists, continue the next step:
Checking the keyboard functionality in HP Recovery Manager:
- Turn on your computer and repeatedly press the esc key until the Startup Menu opens.
- Begin a System Recovery by pressing F11. ...
- The Choose an option screen displays. ...
- Click Advanced options.
- Click Command Prompt to open the Command Prompt window.
In the Command Prompt Windows please type and check the functionality of all the keys and check if T and Y key works or not, if it does not then it's for sure hardware issue. So contact HP Technical Support and get the keyboard replaced/repaired.
If it works fine in Command Prompt then, its a software related issue, performing system recovery (original factory settings) will reinstall original software drivers.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
