Hi friends,

I have reinstalled the driver, tried to search for any updates, restarted multiple times but some specific keys like two of the arrow keys and the + sign don't work. Do your have any other suggestions?

Repair is not going to be cheap and if laptop is over 3 years old, not worth it.

If your laptop keyboard can be replaced individually, you can try your luck buying from aliexpress. You just need to do your own homework like knowing what laptop model, opening up your laptop etc. I replaced my 8years old hp probook keyboard for like 4usd from aliexpress lol
