The entire zxc row isn't working (excpt shift). Neither are space, backspace, arrow keys; and y is now "ny". Please help.

I have a Lenovo T450 if that helps /matters.

    Hi Viktoria,

    I'm Dyari. Thanks for reaching out. I will be happy to assist you in this regard.

    To fix this issue kindly try the steps below:

    1-Try to use another keyboard if available and check if the issue still persists or not. If the issue still persists, it means the issue is software related and it is best to Update its driver from Device Manager.

    If it did not fix the issue, uninstall the keyboard driver completely and download then install the latest driver from the manufacturer's website.

    2-Change the keyboard layout and check whether the issue still persists or not:

    3-use On-Screen Keyboard to see if the issue still persists with it or not:

    4-More troubleshooting methods from the link below:

    5-Clean the mentioned keys with cotton and air duster carefully.

    6-If the issue still persists even after trying the steps above, probably the issue is more hardware related rather than software issue and it is best to take your laptop to a reliable shop for hardware check or replacong the keyboard if needed.

    Please let me know if you need further assistance and keep me updated.
