Hi i have an hp laptop and the j key fell out so we put it back in now only some of the keys on the right side, such as enter bspace slash and a few others dont work. Whats wierd is that some of the keys surrounded by unworking ones do work.
So my question is how do i fix this problem?

Re: Laptop keys
The ribbon cable between the keyboard and motherboard may have come out halfway.

Re: Laptop keys
1) Do you mean "won't press down" or "works mechanically but not electrically"?
2) Worst-case scenario: try buying a replacement.

Re: Laptop keys
Plug an external USB or PS/2 keyboard in. Does that work properly?
