Surface Laptop keyboard problem
Hi,
I need help for Surface Laptop (7th generation) keyboard issue.
We just received a brand new Surface Laptop (2036 model) from our supplier in France.
At the first start, i choose, in win11 wizard, the "French (Traditionnal, AZERTY)" Keyboard.
The end of wizard and installation went smoothly
But the problem is that when I press certain keys, the caracter that is displayed is wrong.
From A to Z keys it's ok. But some others are wrong. Ex :
- "!" shows "_",
- Alt-Gr @ displays tild (~),
- key "-" "_" displays ")" or "°" (with maj associate).
I check the language, region, keyboard parameters, I see nothing inconsistent.
I've download the Surface Laptop 7 update 26.033.32430.0 msi and installed it. Nothing changed.
I've deleted the 4 keybords in device manager and reboot the Surface. Still the same problem.
I did a factory reset. At the first start, i choose this time the "French (Standard, AZERTY)" keyboard.
Not better... I've download The Surface Diagnostic Tool, but it doesn't help me.
We installed 4 other Surface laptops a few months ago, and we haven't encountered any problems (with the same keyboard).
Does anyone have any idea what the cause of this problem might be? Hardware ?
Thanks a lot for help.
