Common keyboard faults we fix
Laptop keyboards take a lot of punishment and eventually wear out or get damaged. Laptop keyboard repair covers everything from a few dead keys to a full keyboard replacement. Here is a quick guide to the common symptoms and what they usually mean.
| Keyboard Symptom | Likely Cause |
|---|---|
| Some keys not working | Worn membrane or debris |
| Sticky or slow keys | Spilled liquid or dirt build-up |
| Keys repeating or ghosting | Faulty keyboard controller |
| Missing or loose keycaps | Broken clips or hinges |
| Whole keyboard dead | Cable, connector or liquid damage |
Dead or unresponsive keys
When individual keys stop working, the cause is often a worn membrane or trapped debris. Our laptop keyboard repair engineers test each key and replace the keyboard where cleaning is not enough.
Sticky keys and spills
A drink spill leaves keys sticky or unresponsive as the liquid dries. Acting quickly matters, so we clean, dry and replace parts to stop lasting damage to the board beneath. Laptop keyboard repair handles spills on every laptop brand.
Repeating keys and missing keycaps
Keys that repeat themselves or keycaps that have popped off point to a controller fault or broken clips. We refit or replace keys and keyboards to get everything typing correctly again. Booking laptop keyboard repair early avoids a bigger board repair.
Do this first before you book
A few quick checks can confirm the keyboard is the real problem.
- Try an external USB keyboard. If that works fine, the built-in keyboard is the fault.
- Restart your laptop. A quick reboot rules out a temporary software glitch.
- Check for stuck keys or debris. Gently clear crumbs and dust from around the keys.
- Update your drivers. Microsoft explains keyboard troubleshooting on the official Windows support site.
