Samsung Series 9 Ultrabook Keyboard Issue

Hi,

My Samsung Series 9 Ultrabook (NP900X) was working fine last, put it in charger and this morning a dozen keys are not working :

  • all number keys except 3

  • keys on the left ( esc, ~ , Tab , Caps , Ctr) (shift works fine)

  • letter 'q' and 'a'

Google was no help - I have no IT/tech knowledge, my guess is that maybe it got overheated and a section of the keys stopped working? but then the keyboard lighting works on all keys.

trying to avoid changing they entire keyboard as its a pain in this laptop and looks expensive

gladly try any suggestions. Thanks

  • Is it under warranty?
    Sounds like potential water damage.

    Something I found on Google (for a Toshiba laptop) says to remove the battery,
    press and hold the power button for 60 seconds with the battery removed.
    Then put it back and turn it on.
    I haven't tried this but it's worth an attempt.
