keyboard not working, touch screen operating fine

[mikel2007]

Hi,

My detachable keyboard is not working.  I've tried uninstalling the drivers and rebooting, letting the battery die and then rebooting and cleaning the connection port.

Help appreciated.

Regards

Mike

Thanks for the response. It's not my touch pad. Both the keyboard and touch pad do not work only my touch screen works. In order to fix it I have to restart my laptop. Once restarted all work fine for a short period and then both the keyboard and touch pad become disabled. I then have to restart again. Very strange. Also my speakers at times will just cut out and make a standing pound noise that won't stop until I restart as well. I have checked for stuck keys as well. I was thinking it could be that but I'm lead to believe that it's a software issue since it goes away with a restart. Sometimes I'm good for a full day before it acts up.
Thoughts???

Thank you for responding,

It's great to have you back 😉

I appreciate the clarification,

That said, the best way to identify whether an issue is either hardware or software related,

Is to boot into the BIOS by tapping on the F10 key during the restart of your PC and remain on the screen to check if any of these issues reappear,

If they do, it would be a hardware failure, if they don't, we need to create a new user account and check if that works as a corrupt profile could create such issues.

Let me know how that pans out

Hi Riddle,

I've reset my PC to factory settings and now the touchscreen won't work!

I've booted up using BIOS (using a USB keyboard as the detachable keyboard) and that hasn't resolved things either.

Help!

If you've done a reset and yet the touchscreen and/or the keyboard doesn't respond properly on the BIOS as well as the windows,

It's a hardware malfunction and I recommend you Contact HP to have it either repaired/replaced:
