Sony Vaio E Series VPCEH25EN Keyboard not working

[Uchiha]

Hi and thanks in advance!
As the title suggests, the keyboard of my Vaio isn't working.
I'm pretty sure that it isn't a hardware problem, as the keyboard started functioning for a day.
Any ideas?

Hi there .. When did this first happen ? What do you mean by >> [ I'm pretty sure that it isn't a hardware problem, as the keyboard started functioning for a day.] .. Have you tried a restore point before the issue happened

 

[Uchiha]

It's a secondary laptop, so I'm not very confident as to the date it actually happened.
I'm sure that it's a software problem because it started working again for a day.

Hi there .. So you do not have any restore points before this happened .. Does the keyboard show up in the Device Manager ? .. If so select it Uninstall and reboot your computer .. Let me know the results

let's leave out system restore as the final resort...
uninstalling and a reboot did no good.

Hi there ... Do no keys work at all ?.... Do you have the Energy Management Driver Installed ?

A few keys do work, like the QWERTY row.
I have no such thing as Energy Management coming up on my Start Menu

Hi there .. Have a look in Programs and Features ... If it is not there download it from the Lenovo website

 

[Uchiha]

Why Lenovo?

 

[maxie]

Hi there .. Sorry about that was going by your System Specs .. How ever have a look and see if you have SFEP Installed ..Should be in Programs and Features ..

 

[Uchiha]

searching sfep in Programs and Features returned no results

Still nothing....
SFEP doesn't appear in Programs and Features.

use device manager and right click your keyboard driver then click uninstall make sure u uncheck remove or uninstall device from this computer if u dont have that box u may need to replace your keyboard ..

 

[Uchiha]
