Some keyboard keys not working

Compare the failing key group with nearby working keys before assuming the whole keyboard failed.

Run the check

  1. List the exact missing keys and test each physical position once.

  2. Test nearby keys as a control group and note whether modifiers change the result.

  3. Repeat through another port or wireless connection, then another device.

Read the result

A stable cluster of missing positions has a different pattern from a whole-device disconnect.

Limits and next step

System shortcuts and protected keys may never reach a browser page.

Repeat the check after changing one setting or connection. Keep a record of what changed before deciding whether the device needs service.
