Thread: Keyboard not working

  1. #1

    Keyboard not working

    Hey,

    Just got a G74s and the kids were playing it and now I have no keyboard working. when I press 'P' windows makes a bing sound and pressing 'W' looks like it works like an up arrow?

    Must be something they pressed but damned if I can figure it out.

    Please help.

    Cheers

    What does a restart do? Still no keyboard at all?

    I don't believe the kids did anything (unless they spilled liquid on the keyboard). I've read some threads where additional characters or different characters appear when certain keys are pressed. I think you've got a defective keyboard and recommend exchanging your laptop for a new unit if you are still within your retailer's exchange/return period.
    Don't let them talk you into an RMA.

    I would attempt an ASUS Factoty Restore as a last attempt.at a software fix. Press F9 at the ASUS splash screen and choose Option 1 to restore Windows to the 1st partition. Be sure to backup any important files on that partition as it will be completely overwritten.
