  • Spilt a drink on it by chance??

    Would be worth plugging in an external keyboard (if you have one) to confirm whether it is a hardware or software issue.

    are you saying even on an external keyboard, the same keys don't work, and you've already reinstalled windows?

    try without battery, try safe mode
