Keyboard Not Working

• Check for any available updates, and if there are any, install them and restart your laptop. Even if no updates are pending, rebooting your computer may resolve a temporary glitch that’s affecting the keyboard.

If your keyboard suddenly stops working, it might be time to clean out your keyboard. Cleaning your PC and its accessories are extremely important to keep everything in good, functioning order.

• When dust, crumbs, or other debris get stuck under the keys, your keys can stop working! For example, a key might get stuck on a piece of dirt. Luckily, with a keyboard cleaning brush or tool kit, you can easily fix this. Brush your keyboard gently from side to side. If necessary, wipe down the keyboard lightly with a microfiber cloth. You can also use a dust blower to remove dust or crumbs in some cases.

• For both wired and wireless keyboards, an issue with the internal wiring or circuit board may be the problem. Replacing the keyboard might be the only way to fix your keyboard. The Asus Chromebook Flip CX1400 Service Manual has some information to help you replace the keyboard.
