    Keyboard malfunctioning


    My keyboard was working totally fine but ever since my 9 year old brother use my laptop i think he accidentally pressed random keys, 90 % of the keys stopped working. I'm 100 % sure that no liquid was spilled on my laptop because every time i play games specifically call of duty 2, the keyboard works fine. I need help thank you.

    No probs mate and it looks quite easy to do if you can find one. See this How to Replace Lenovo G470 G475 Keyboard - laptoppartstore

    Now the only thing to remember is to be very gentle with the ribbon cables as they will not take a heap of heavy tanking and tugging. Most are held in place by two small lugs either side of where the cable is plugged in and they need to be gently pulled outwards and then the ribbon cable slides out. inserting is the reverse. See my pic and tips.

    Just to be on the safe side I would back up all important data. You may be headed towards a clean install of W7. Best to prepare yourself if the system needs a complete reset.

    Something more than pressing wrong keys was done. I can't think of any key sequence that will disable keys. The fact that even an external one has the same issues is a good clue.
    Could little bro have stepped on or dropped a heavy object on the laptop?
