⌨️ Laptop Keyboard Not Working? Here's What Might Be Causing It (And How We Can Fix It)
Is your laptop keyboard unresponsive, typing the wrong letters, or completely dead? Whether you're working, studying, or gaming, a non-working keyboard can bring everything to a halt.
At Gary’s Computer Repair Service, we fix all types of keyboard issues — from stuck keys to full keyboard replacements — for laptops across Dublin.
🔍 Common Laptop Keyboard Issues
1️⃣ Some Keys Don’t Work
A few keys are unresponsive? This might be due to internal dust, a bad circuit, or physical damage under the keycaps.
2️⃣ Entire Keyboard Not Working
If nothing types, the issue could be software-related, a disconnected ribbon cable, or hardware failure.
3️⃣ Keyboard Only Works in BIOS or Safe Mode
This often indicates a driver conflict or system file error in Windows or macOS.
4️⃣ Random Characters or Wrong Letters
Typing "G" shows "5"? This might be a layout setting issue (language) or keyboard short circuit.
5️⃣ Spilled Something?
Liquid damage is one of the top causes of keyboard failure — and time matters. The sooner you bring it in, the better.
