So I am currently on the keyboard in question. It is my roommates, I have been using it for school.Now he had no virus protection and i recently clean up the place and installed a free one ( i dont know if a virus could have something to do with my keyboard, highly unlikely but i thought id share). The keybaord has been fine all semester, now like 6 months after i have been using it the W,E,R, left arrow, down arror, up arrow, and back space have issues working. There are some other keys that prob. dont work well either, but i am not sure. So i searched forums and googled before this post and i update drivers and removed my battery for a while and did other suggestions but they keys still have issues. As you can see they are working currently, but heres the problem: when you turn on the computer you are always promted for a password (their is no guest option) and his password cosists of some of those keys that often do not work. SO to turn the computer on I have to press the key a billion times, try at different times and sometimes it would work. How ever my last suggestion was to take the battery out for a while and then replace it and it should "work like magic". Well, it didnt but by poking around i have discovered if i keep the screen at a perfect 90 degree angle all my keys will work. Do i have a cord loose? how do i fix it? should i leave the battery out longer? should i take it to office depot and see what they think ( they usually suck though)? please any advise would be hella apprciated.

THanks

If it was mine, I'd just buy a new keyboard. But if you want, you can try to test it out on another PC.

What kind of keyboard is this?

It is a Hp Pavilian Special Edition Laptop, so the one that is attached. It hasn't messed up today, but it's just doing random weird things like a mentioned before and I can't figure out what is causing it to stop it.

Oh, it's a laptop. You probably should have posted your question in the Mobile Computing forum.

hwere is that i can copy and paste?

You probably should PM (private message) an Administrator or possibly a Moderator to move your thread so it will have a better chance of being seen by someone who can help you.

i dont know how, i literally just made this account for the purpose of that first thread, how would i PM
