    Okay okay hear me out! So back then i was at my table playing games until suddenly these three keys stopped working:
    W, CAPS LOCK, 2


    There are chances where i can type it temporarily, I swear to god it isn't drivers, i used a USB keyboard and it works SO WELL.

    is there anyway i can fix it? or just give it to a guy for it to fix it, or....just give up.


    (P.S i was watching a film and tried to act like i know why it broke and i got the CAPS LOCK key out now it's missing, so does Right Arrow, S, "/"

    (P.SS i wanna use the laptop keyboard instead of the USB keyboard because it gives me space and not annoy me / read visual novels, nobody will take me seriously after this)

    i don't mind with s and "/" but for RA and caps lock then yes)

    Depends on the model you have, but many keyboards are not too costly or difficult to replace yourself with a bit of care. If you have a look on utube you will probably find a video to give you an idea. It's doubtful that you will be able to repair the original - laminated circuits make it almost impossible if the internal circuits/contacts have become faulty. Keys can often be clipped back on if they have not actually broken. Pete

    IDK much about tech like "faulty", but pressing the key still works, only problem is that It won't type.
    UPDATE: It is 5 keys now, even the mute and backslash, i have a USB plugged in keyboard, because it's hard to use with a touchpad I'll just buy a mouse. Thanks for your answer tho.
