Laptop keyboard is an important tool for us to use the computer in our daily life, if the keyboard fails, it will not be able to enter text and operate, which will bring great inconvenience to our work and study. So, what should we do when we encounter a laptop keyboard failure? Here are a few common solutions to help you deal with the problem.
1. Check the keyboard connection
Sometimes, a keyboard malfunction can be caused by an unstable or loose connection between the keyboard and the computer. At this time, we can first check whether the interface of the keyboard has debris or dust, and if there is, we can clean it up with a hair dryer or cotton swab. Then, we can unplug the connector of the keyboard and plug it back into the computer to see if it gets back to normal. If it is an external keyboard, we can also try a different USB port.
2. Restart your computer
Sometimes, a keyboard malfunction can be caused by some errors or conflicts in the computer system. At this time, we can try restarting the computer and letting the system reload the keyboard driver to see if that solves the problem. If it still doesn't work after restarting, we can enter safe mode and see if the keyboard works correctly. If so, it means that some software or settings are affecting the functionality of the keyboard, and we can uninstall or close them in normal mode, or restore the system to a normal restore point.
3. Update or reinstall the keyboard driver
Sometimes, a keyboard malfunction can be caused by an outdated or damaged keyboard driver. At this time, we can update or reinstall the keyboard driver by driving life, the specific steps are as follows:
1. Download and open the "Drive Life" software, switch to the driver management column, and click "Scan Now";
2. Select the keyboard driver according to the list of scan results to install and update;
3. If it still doesn't work after updating the driver, we can click the "Driver Uninstall" on the far right below the driver management column to uninstall the keyboard driver, and then scan and install it again.
4. Use the on-screen keyboard
If none of the above methods can solve the problem of keyboard failure, we can temporarily use the on-screen keyboard instead of the physical keyboard, so as not to affect our work and study. The on-screen keyboard is a virtual keyboard that can be operated by a mouse or touch screen by following the following steps:
