Three keys on keyboard not working properly
I started suddenly having a problem with keys not working on my LAPTOP keyboard recently. I first started noticing it in Microsoft Word and then it gradually got worse over a matter of a few days and now it's really bad no matter where I am typing. By process of elimination, I narrowed it down to three specific keys: "w" "f" and "k" and at times, it will intermittently work. I have already tried a number of suggestions that has not helped. I cleaned the keyboard keys thoroughly and thought that fixed the problem because immediately they started working but not for long. I am able to type using an external keyboard. I ran a scan to check for viruses and nothing came up there. My next thought was to do a system restore but I have so many files that need to be backed up that I really don't have time to do but I will do as a last resort. Why is it just those specific keys? Really baffles me.
