Laptop help me

[harrykerruk]

I have a real year old samsung. Waking up onext morning and the track pad wouldn't want work. Neither would the letter 'p'. I tried the letter p and nothing would work. Fn+ keys wouldn't work either so please don't recommend the typical, keys like f2, f5, f11, f12. I've started a complete factory reset to see if that helps. Do you have any advicÈ,,

Did the factory reset help with any of the key functionality? If say it did not, I would say there is a problem with the hardware. Typically if say it were a software issue, a factory reset would have fixed anything that may have been out of place. And also due to the age of the laptop, a faulty keyboard is likely and not uncommon.

It's on 60% now so I'm giving to wait. I really hope this works because I e just ßoent a load on x,as and it's pretty much wiped me out. Fingers crossed.

Hopefully a software issue was the case but say if not, chances are a new keyboard would be a cheap fix depending on the make and model.

No such luck. A system restore did nothing. Off out for a new laptop.

You could always go the route of just installing a new keyboard panel, or as silly as it may seem, you could actually connect a USB keyboard to the laptop say if it was in dire need of use

It's okay, I bought a new laptop. I travel a lot for work and carrying around a laptop is too much bother. Thanks for the help though.
