Laptop Keyboard Suddenly Stopped Working Correctly

[jblanda]

Hello, Today I started up my laptop which is a Toshiba Satellite C675 and my keyboard seems to not work correctly. The q, ` and a keys don't work at all. I'm typing this with the help of Window's on screen keyboard. Last time I used this, I had no problem. I didn't install any software or do anything at all to the hardware. I haven't tried system restore, so I am going to try that next. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Edit: My Windows key doesn't do anything either.

I heard taking out your battery could work! Leave it for 30 seconds and put it back in. Hope that works

Didn't do anything, neither did system restore.

Hi, you can try reseating the keyboard ribbon in the connector. Sometimes that works.
