As I have purchased my laptop, this has been one of my problems with Aspire 7-42G.
Some parts of the keyboard especially the backspace, number pads, and the other 10+ keys didn't work upon opening the laptop. I've waited for at least 15 minutes for the "not functioning" keys to be functional again. Basically, I wait for quite some time to be able to work with my laptop, which definitely bothers me.
Been trying to update the keyboard drivers, to restore the factory system but it still remains an issue with my laptop. Any recommendations on what should I do with this without the option to use an external keyboard? Thanks.
