Method 5: Clean or Replace the Keyboard

The fifth way you can try is to clean or replace the keyboard. If all of the above methods do not work, most likely the keyboard problem is caused by physical damage to the keyboard itself. Dust or dirt that accumulates between keyboard keys can interfere with signals sent to the operating system. You can try cleaning the keyboard using a brush, cloth, or air spray. Here are the steps to clean the keyboard:

1. Turn off your laptop or computer and disconnect the power cord or battery.
2. Turn the keyboard upside down and shake gently to remove any dust or dirt that sticks to the surface of the keyboard.
3. Use a brush, cloth, or air spray to carefully clean between keyboard keys.
4. Turn the keyboard back over and plug in the power cord or battery.
5. Turn on your laptop or computer and try typing something in any application and see if the keyboard issue is resolved.

If cleaning the keyboard did not help, then you should replace the keyboard with a new one. You can buy a new keyboard that matches the model and brand of your laptop or computer, or take your laptop or computer to an authorized service center to replace the keyboard. You can also use an external keyboard connected by USB or Bluetooth as an alternative.
