    so yesterday i opened up my R1 and cleaned the the whole thing including the fans, i didn't touch the cpu btw . it was clean

    after that i turned it on and i heard the sound . when i say the sound i mean the hiss that most R1s make when they'r switched on and i guess its because of the fans . i've heard the sound before but this time it was very long ( like 16secs) but before that it lasted like 6secs .

    the weird thing is that every time this sound comes up my keyboard does not function correctly and i have to push the buttons kinda hard.

    when the machine wakes from sleep mode , the system and the keyboard are all fine!!
    i have reflashed the bios but i didn't work

    Your help would be greatly appreciated :)
