Hello,

Laptop: BTO 15CL58 (Clevo W350ss)

I've been having issues with some of the keys on my laptop the past few days.
To be precise: 2, 4, 7, 9, =, [ , e, p and tab have stopped working.

Typing with help from onscreen keyboard right now. I have noticed the named keys don't light up on the onscreen keyboard if i press them on my actual keyboard and all other keys do.
I've had the keys working a few times after restarting laptop, but it would last maybe a minute and then they'd just stop working again.
I checked the drivers but it says the latest version is installed, i've tried reinstalling windows which didnt work.
Shutting it down and taking out the power supply and battery and pressing the power button for a minute didn't work either.

I haven't had a single issue with the keyboard in the past 2 years, but now all of a sudden all those keys pretty much stopped working.
The laptop hasn't been dropped and nothing has been spilled on it.
I dont have money to get it repaired, so im pretty much looking for any solution that doesn't require money and wont break it further.
If anyone has any ideas, they'd be much appreciated!

 
Solution
If the keys are not working and you don't want to get it repaired then unfortunately there is nothing you can do. There is no single software solution because it is most likely the hardware issue. Go mow the lawn
