Some laptop keys not working

[bonnlimbo3098]

My laptop keyboard has been malfunctioning lately. Some keys do not register instantly as i press them. I need to press it many times for it to work. Other keys work just fine. Malfunctioning keys include spacebar, z, v, b, 1, 3, and p.

NOTE: If you need to type in a password to even get into Windows to do the following, make sure you attached an external keyboard first, to get past the password. Then disconnect the external keyboard and try the following...

1. Uninstall the keyboard driver.
2. Reboot the computer (without reinstalling the driver).
3. When it restarts, it should reinstall the driver on its own.

If this doesn't work, you may wish to try connecting/reconnecting an external keyboard and see if it works fine. If it does, then it could be the keys themselves that are the issue.

You may also want to try updating the Synaptics Driver if the above doesn't help.
