The built in keyboard on my laptop wasn’t working right - it kept writing random letters non-stop and then I discovered some keys work but some don’t. I have a work deadline so I bought a USB keyboard and plugged it in.
At first, everything seemed find then the same issue kept happening. I figured it was still the built in keyboard that was the issue so I decided to delete any drivers for the laptop’s keyboard as I thought this would mean I could use the USB one without issue.
Well now I realise what I did was dumb because the power button is on the built in keyboard, so i can’t turn my laptop on. I tried physically or pening up the laptop to see if there was a glaring issue but even after you open it the keyboard is buried under a metal sheet that I can’t access. Is there any way to fix this?
As convenient as laptops are when something like this happens they become a huge nightmare. Even the generic keyboard drive should allow for the power button functionality, but where is it not indicates the keyboard finally died all together. There really is no easy work around other than replacing that keyboard.
Things like this always seem to happen at the worst possible times.
