| 1 Jean-Michel, on Dec 11, 2008 12:07:02 am GMTHello,
I hope you have found an answer, if you didn't here it is: shut down the notebook. Remove the battery for a couple of seconds and replace it. It works for me every time.
The keyboard locks up on mine when I turn the notebook on while in tablet mode. I mean the cover is closed with the screen facing out.
I hope this helps.

Thank you so much ...........................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| 4 dan_the_man, on Dec 16, 2008 2:49:58 am GMTThank you so, so, so, much. I had the keyboard problem with this computer. After talking with HP, going through a long process of updates, backups, and restores, they advised me to exchange it. I've had my second tablet pc for about two weeks and the keyboard died right before my college finals. I was ready to move on to greener pastures, but your post saved me. I love this computer and I so wanted it to work. Thank you. I'll be telling HP the solution. |
| 8 Channa, on Dec 19, 2008 6:49:33 am GMTThank you sooo MUCH! I have a DELL and also had this issue. I have been trying to figure out why ALL DAY uninstalling, updating driver, system restore, etc. and NOTHING worked. This worked for me as well. BLESS YOU :) |

| 17 reegs, on Jan 10, 2009 6:01:35 am GMTDeadset legend mate! I just solved this issue for my brother overseas by googling and finding your answer. HP support can stick it where the sun don't shine. |

| 33 Ippy, on Feb 22, 2009 5:24:07 pm GMTI've just got an HP TX2-1010, Only been out a few months.
Same problem, same solution.
Thanks. |
| 34 MCT, on Feb 23, 2009 5:21:03 pm GMTMy son called and said his laptop keyboard froze. He was in a panic with all sorts of college homework to get done. I found your post and had him do it and it worked. Thanks SO MUCH!!!! |
| 43 twins, on Mar 10, 2009 9:23:36 pm GMTTks a mil for your help cant belive it was tat easy my daughter has been without her laptop for a week |
| 47 Tom M, on Mar 20, 2009 3:07:04 pm GMTGreat solution. I had just reinstalled the keyboard driver, restarted a few times, searched the control panel for some accidental keyboard shutoff, etc, when I started googling for a solution. I also have an HP TX1523cl and I think I booted in slate mode which seemed to cause the problem. Great job!! |
| 55 brenda, on Apr 30, 2009 2:26:08 pm BSTThank you your advise was very helpful. My cat sat on my laptop and some how had locked my keys, I turned off the computer took out the battery then put it back in and good as new.
Thanks again

| 57 misspk, on May 13, 2009 2:31:16 am BSTHi there! THANK YOU so much for this solution!
this has been the second time that my keyboard for my hp pavilion tx2000 has stopped working, and i've only had it for 4 months.
the first time, i've only had it for 2 weeks, i contacted HP and they told me to do a BIOS update and uninstall the keyboard hardware, that didnt work. so I did a live chat with them and they told me to send in my laptop.
it took about 1.5 weeks for them to send me the box, I was about to send in my laptop when i was watching a movie and then the keyboard suddenly worked again! so, i thought maybe it was just a glitch in the system.
then today, i had my laptop in tablet mode and my keyboard stopped working. the whole day i've been using the pen and screen, and it was not a pleasant thing at all, my wrist hurted like crazy!!
i should've googled this earlier. i thought that by watching a movie on my laptop again, the keyboard would work again, apparently not, lols. once again, THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH for this solution!! you rock! |
| 58 Gadhafy, on May 17, 2009 10:55:38 pm BSTThank you so much. Your answer really really helped my boyfriend, and i'm thankfull for that

| 79 haari, on Aug 8, 2009 4:09:35 am BSTThank you so much for this solution. It worked for me. Thank u thank u soooooooooooooooo much!!!!! |
| 84 JanKay, on Aug 14, 2009 2:46:41 pm BSTIt worked! You saved me buying a $99 yearly contract for our 3 year-old laptop. This happened before and went through a whole long process. This is much easier!! Thanks!!!!! |
| 85 KarmaGoddessCarmen, on Aug 15, 2009 2:18:25 am BSTI had this same problem and wasn't getting anywhere searching for the fix on Microsoft. SooOOooOOoo.. I finally entered this search string into Google out of sheer desperation: "my cat ran across my keyboard and now the keyboard is not responding correctly"
Voila... problem solved instantly with this solution. Thanks. You ARE a Goddamned genius
P.S. God Bless you, GOOGLE! ;) Your search engines rock. |
| 97 Thanks, on Oct 12, 2009 7:17:26 pm BSTHey, thanks for posting the fix. I too had my HP in tablet mode and the keyboard would not work when trying to boot up in normal laptop mode. So, this fix was so easy to do and saved me a lot of hassle. And now the question is why doesn't HP do something about this? What is so magical that taking out a battery fixes the problem and yet they don't update the laptop to get rid of this annoying problem? |
| 99 Nashville, TN, on Oct 21, 2009 12:05:57 am BSTWorked for me as well! Amazing! I have a $399 HP G60 Notebook PC w/ Windows Vista from Best Buy. Mouse/Laptop just froze and so I manually shut down by holding the On/Off button down for 10 seconds and then I took the battery out for 10 seconds, booted up in Safe Mode and then restarted computer so I was in normal mode. Worked like a champ. Thanks so much! | 102 joe, on Nov 12, 2009 12:59:16 am GMTOMFG TY I DID WHAT YOU DID AND IT WORKED LIKE A CHARM TY SOOOO MUCH!!!!!! |
