What to do if Keyboard not working on HP Laptop

I am experiencing an issue where the keyboard on my HP laptop is not working at all, and I am unsure what steps to take to fix it. The keyboard was functioning normally earlier, but suddenly it stopped responding, and I have tried restarting the laptop without success. I am looking for troubleshooting tips or solutions to get my keyboard working again so I can continue using my laptop without issues.

    1. Shut down your laptop completely
    2. Turn it on and immediately tap the F10 key repeatedly (or Esc for some models) until you see a blue or gray menu—this is the BIOS/UEFI screen 
    3. Try using the arrow keys to navigate up/down

    If none of the above steps work, the keyboard might be physically damaged or disconnected internally.

    In this case, consider:

    • Contacting HP support or a professional technician.
    • If under warranty, utilize warranty service for repair or replacement.
