My laptop/notebook keyboard is not working




Issue: My laptop/notebook keyboard is not working


Solution:

Hi Friends,


How are you all?


Today I am gonna tell you what steps you can do to make your keyboard working again.

So lets start,



Step 1) Restart your computer

 First the mother of all, restart your computer and check.

If it fixes, you are lucky. If not you need to do a little work more.




Step 2) Reinstall Driver software


2A)   Go to start menu, type "Device Manager", It will open up the device manager window




2B) Go to the option says "Keyboard", click on the small left hand side arrow

it will open up a sub option says "Standard PS/2 Keyboard",



2C) Right click on option "Standard PS/2 Keyboard" and click uninstall, when prompted click ok/yes

to uninstall. Must restart the computer after uninstalling the drivers, as the restart will reinstall it

again.

Check if this fixes the issue.


***very important: don't delete the drivers, if a option comes and ask for deletion.





If it doesn't fixes the issue, then carry on to Step 3,





Step  3)  Update Driver Software


Go to the same Device Manager, same "Keyboard" option followed by "Standard PS/2 Keyboard

option", right click and this time select "Update Driver" instead of  "Uninstall"




and when prompted "Search Driver Software" then click "Search Automatically for updated

software", wait and update the driver for your keyboard and when finishes, restart and check if this

fixes.


If it doesn't fixes the issue, then carry on to step 4,





Step 4) Check in BIOS, if the key(s) has gone bad and need to replace


Step 4 A) Restart again your computer, and as soon as the laptop switch on

keep tapping the Esc key or the F1 or F2 key(note: the key to enter BIOS may vary in different

laptops) for going to the BIOS Menu.

The BIOS screen will look something like this,



**note:  the key to enter BIOS may vary in different laptops, you might get prompt while booting to windows to enter BIOS by simply pressing F1 or F2, for more info check your systems BIOS options.




Step 4 B) After you enter BIOS, press those key that are not working, check if they are making any

beep sound,

if they are not making a beep sound that means they have gone bad and you need to visit service

center or call customer support of your respective Laptop Brand.

And if they makes beep sound update the keyboard driver (mentioned in Step 3), and your keyboard

will start working again.

**note: the Function keys, that is F1 to F12 never makes a beep sound.)

Hi Friends,

Today i am gonna show you, how to find Windows 8/8.1 product key using just Notepad,
its amazing we don't even know how a extension can make a notepad a software.

Anyways let carry on to the content directly,

Step1: Copy and Paste the below Command in a Notepad and save it in name as "recover.ps1".

**ps1 for powershell, later on you will know why we used that.

Command:

function Get-WindowsKey {
    ## function to retrieve the Windows 8 or 8.1 Product Key from any PC
    param ($targets = ".")
    $hklm = 2147483650
    $regPath = "Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion"
    $regValue = "DigitalProductId"
    Foreach ($target in $targets) {
        $productKey = $null
        $win32os = $null
        $wmi = [WMIClass]"\\$target\root\default:stdRegProv"
        $data = $wmi.GetBinaryValue($hklm,$regPath,$regValue)
        $binArray = ($data.uValue)[52..66]
        $charsArray = "B","C","D","F","G","H","J","K","M","P","Q","R","T","V","W","X","Y","2","3","4","6","7","8","9"
        ## decrypt base24 encoded binary data
        For ($i = 24; $i -ge 0; $i--) {
            $k = 0
            For ($j = 14; $j -ge 0; $j--) {
                $k = $k * 256 -bxor $binArray[$j]
                $binArray[$j] = [math]::truncate($k / 24)
                $k = $k % 24
            }
            $productKey = $charsArray[$k] + $productKey
            If (($i % 5 -eq 0) -and ($i -ne 0)) {
                $productKey = "-" + $productKey
            }
        }
        $win32os = Get-WmiObject Win32_OperatingSystem -computer $target
        $obj = New-Object Object
        $obj | Add-Member Noteproperty Computer -value $target
        $obj | Add-Member Noteproperty Caption -value $win32os.Caption
        $obj | Add-Member Noteproperty CSDVersion -value $win32os.CSDVersion
        $obj | Add-Member Noteproperty OSArch -value $win32os.OSArchitecture
        $obj | Add-Member Noteproperty BuildNumber -value $win32os.BuildNumber
        $obj | Add-Member Noteproperty RegisteredTo -value $win32os.RegisteredUser
        $obj | Add-Member Noteproperty ProductID -value $win32os.SerialNumber
        $obj | Add-Member Noteproperty ProductKey -value $productkey
        $obj
    }
}







Step 2

Now open Windows PowerShell by going to Windows Metro Style dashboard (Press Windows button) and search for “PowerShell“.

Right click on the application then select “Run as Administrator“. Hit “Yes” when you prompted with UAC dialog box.


Step 3

a)Now the Powershell has opened up, type the below commands in powershell

Command : Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned



Type “Y” when it displays “Do you want to change the execution policy” message.


b) Type the second command and hit Enter.

Command : Import-Module PATH; Get-WindowsKey

***NOTE : here "PATH" should be the file location path of the file "recover.ps1" that you created in step 1.
copy and paste the path of the file in place of "PATH"


How to Get Path of PowerShell Script file?
Right click on RecoverKey.ps1 file. Left click on Properties. 
Under General Tab find the location and copy it.

Scroll to the bottom of the page of the powershell to get your Pre Installed Product key of Windows 8/8.1 Operating System
