I updated my BIOS software last week through INTEL official website to fix my keyboard button brightness issue. But after I updated the BIOS, the caps lock button won't work and I can't type capital letters at all unless holding the shift button while typing the letters I want to capitalize and typing it using on screen keyboard. Please help I am only a student and no extra income to bribg it to service center.

@Bunnymyeon Did you check if the issue occurs on an external keyboard?
While you respond to that, here's what you need to do:
I recommend you attempt the below steps to identify the cause of the failure and resolve it accordingly:
- Try changing the keyboard layout/language and check if it works: Click here for steps.
- Clean the keyboard with compressed air (blow compressed air in the gaps between keys). This removes some lint and dust.
- Shut down the laptop, remove the battery and cable for a moment, press and hold the start button for 60 seconds
- Replace the battery, restart the notebook,
- if the issue persists, perform an interactive hardware test on the keyboard using the steps mentioned on this link: Click here (look under "Running Component Tests > Keyboard test").
