ASUS G73JH Suddenly some keys stopped working

Hey,
The "m c v q" keys do not register, among others. I have to spam click them for a good 30 seconds before the key gets registered.
Its a G73JH, has anyone else had this problem before?

Thanks

 

I have a few potential causes in mind, but i'm not exactly certain since i haven't run across this problem before.

First i'd uninstall and reinstall the keyboard filter utility from Asus and see if that fixes things.

It could be that the key mechanism is broken, the switches are damaged or the underside of those keys is dirty. This is something you'll likely be able to tell visually of with the tactile feel of the key since it will be different.

Otherwise, you could remove the kb and reseat the connector in case it was a bad connection.

 

tijo, thank you very much. I reseated the connection to the KB and it seems to be working fine.

Is there a thread with the latest drivers/BIOS etc?

Thanks!

 

I made a list of the essentials here: http://forum.notebookreview.com/asu...40272-asus-g73jh-driver-disc.html#post8334226. Some drivers may be a month old like the video drivers, but i have confirmed that all those worked. Getting a working link to the audio drivers was a real pain and as such i only have link to the general download page for those. Bios 213 can be had from the Asus support site.

 

Hi Guys,

ElStevie did the reseating resolve the issue? Im having the same problem with my G73sw

Thanks!
