The symbols that require you to press alt gr or shift to write, like @${}, sometimes dont work on my laptop, while they do work other times.

1-4 and 7-0 buttons is affected, 5% or 6& is not.

  • When the issue is there, if I type a number without any modifiers, and then write the symbol it works fine, but if I type a letter first and then straight on a symbol it doesnt.
  • When the issue is there, if I open one of the webpage tester sites, it registrers the modifier key (shift, alt gr) but not the number key when pressing them together, but do when just the number.
  • It seem to be random when the issue occours, its on and off. When it comes it is there for a while before it vanishes.
  • I have tried updating windows and BIOS.
  • I have tried removing the keyboard driver in windows and restart (Seem to be generic windows one)
  • Its not language setting.

If it matters, its a Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Pro

 

Any suggestions before trying to take the drastic step of reinstalling windows?

I did a complete reinstall, I think I just experienced the same issue again.... so, Hardware?

 

Sounds very weird if its hardware based on how its acting. Haunted?
