Hi, any ideas why a NEW keyboard still wouldn’t work after installing it? The ribbon was connected properly, it’s the right keyboard, and I made sure the driver was updated. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Started a new job and my keyboard went to $@$* in the first week. Can’t really afford to buy a new laptop this weekend. It works with an external USB keyboard so it’s probably not a software issue… I think?

Alittle advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
