Hello,

I left town for a few days and left my NP9150 shut down and unplugged. After turning it on, I found that the keyboard was almost non responsive. Restarting didn't change anything. After about 10-15 minutes it seems to be a little better but it types letters at random, repeats the same letter over and over, or can type 3-4 letters if I hit one key. I checked the drivers and it said they were working normallly but could reinstalling help? Really not sure what's going on so any help is appreciated.

This is typed on my phone but ill try to include a screenshot of what's happening.

Have you tried resetting the EC? (remove AC and battery for a minute or two).

Where did you leave it at? Could it have gotten too hot and gotten damaged? Or stepped on by a pet or something?

I would take out the keyboard and make sure it is properly plugged into the motherboard and either way, re-seat it.
