So, as the title suggests, some of my keys on my laptop are not working until i've used the computer for a bit, is the heat changing something?

 

The keys that aren't working until the computer heats are: T Y @ " 9 7 SHIFT.

 

Thanks.

lol

think thats the first time Ive hear of this

 

try plugging in a usb keyboard and see if the keys all work normaly

Might be worth noting that the keys eventually work if you keep smashing it repeatedly, but obviously I can't keep doing that in games.

Although I don't think it's a software issue. I will be getting rid of this laptop shortly, the GT 635M cannot play much games, obviously. xD
