@ashikasoni5404, Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
If some keys on your HP Laptop PC 15s-du3000 keyboard are not working, here's how you can troubleshoot and possibly fix the issue:
Basic Checks
- Restart your laptop — simple but sometimes effective.
- Check for debris — use compressed air to gently clean under the keys.
- Test in BIOS:
- Restart the laptop and press Esc repeatedly, then press F10 to enter BIOS.
- Try using the non-working keys in the BIOS (like arrow keys or typing in BIOS diagnostics if available).
- If they work in BIOS, it's a software/driver issue.
- If they don’t work, it’s likely a hardware issue.
Update or Reinstall the Keyboard Driver
- Press Win + X > Device Manager > expand Keyboards.
- Right-click Standard PS/2 Keyboard > Update driver.
- If that doesn't help, uninstall the keyboard device, then restart your PC to auto-reinstall it.
Run HP Diagnostics
- Go to HP PC Hardware Diagnostics for Windows and run the keyboard test.
- Or press Esc during boot > F2 > Component Tests > Keyboard.
Test with an External Keyboard
- Plug in a USB keyboard or connect a Bluetooth keyboard.
- If all keys work there, it's further confirmation of a hardware issue with your laptop keyboard.
Perform a System Restore or Windows Update
- If the issue started recently, perform a System Restore to a date when the keyboard worked.
- Also ensure Windows is fully updated: Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update.
If none of the above works and the keys are still non-responsive even in BIOS, the keyboard hardware may be faulty. You will have to visit the nearest HP authorized service center, the service team will check and assist you.
