#Laptop keyboard not working asus driver#

That's right I downloaded Linux Mint 13 Cinnamon, threw it onto a USB drive, then I booted the Asus into Linux Mint. SoвЂ¦ what was my fix to the Asus Eee PC keyboard not working? Linux Mint!

#Laptop keyboard not working asus driver#

I would have installed the driver for this particular Asus netbook model but I couldn't find it. It seemed to me a software issue and I was pretty sure the netbook owner was not interested in spending money on replacing the Asus Eee PC keyboard. Some believe it is a driver and software issue while others were saying the keyboard was probably broken and needed to be replaced.

Apparently Asus Eee PC keyboard issues are quite common. I tried many of the suggestions and recommendations in the tech forums I was finding with threads with similar complaints. This is whenВ I decided to check Google like an IT pro (well I am not quite a pro) to see if there was something simple I was missing. After playing around with the keyboard I realized that was not the case. So вЂњPвЂќ would give you вЂњ0вЂќ typing вЂњOвЂќ would give you вЂњ9вЂќ and вЂњIвЂќ would give you вЂњ8.вЂќ At first I assumed that Num Lock or the FN key were set or something. When you pressed these keys it executed the numbers above above the letters. The keys were pressed for вЂњIвЂќ вЂњOвЂќ and вЂњPвЂќ the Asus netbook not put those letters on the screen. The complaint of the keyboard not working wasn't that the whole keyboard didn't work. Even if nobody wants a netbook anymore and everyone is going for tablets nowadays it was worth a shot to try to salvage and fix this Asus Eee PC keyboard. They were using the Asus Eee PC as second computer once in awhile and were getting reasonable use out of it.

This Asus netbook keyboard issue wasn't something I wanted to mess around with too much but I did feel like I should take a look. Recently I was asked to take a look at an old Asus Eee PC netbook since the owner was having issues with the keyboard вЂњNot working.вЂќ My first reaction to hearing that the Asus Eee PC keyboard was not working was, вЂњMaybe you should get rid of it.вЂќ
