A few days ago my keyboard was working perfect, but now it's not working anymore and it's not showing up in device manager, but a usb keyboard is working perfectly, what can i do so my laptop keyboard works again?
 
Solution
First, re-seat the connections to the motherboard. Check the hidden devices in device manager for it, enable it from there if it's there. If those don't help, try another keyboard.
