Hello. I have acer aspire 7 a715-75G. I bought it 2 years ago. Last month FN key in keyboard started to lag. I needed to press it 3 times to work. It kept getting worse. After some days i had to press FN+ALT+F4 like 10 times to close anything. I tested the key at a keyboard tester. It worked once-twice every 10 clicks. Anyway the key completely stop after some days of that. I didnt care tbh. FN is not that important. Anyway last week i was playing. I should hold Q to do something. But Q sometimes didnt hold. When i hold it it just dont hold ( tested it in google search too. Kept holding the key and stopping for 1 min. And yeah the key sometimes didnt hold. ). I ignored that. 2 days ago the key started to lag. Didnt lag too much. I was playing It lagged 3 times in a 1 hour game. I removed the key and cleaned it. I hoped that this will fix the problem but yesterday i was playing. While playing Q key was working normally then it suddenly COMPLETELY stopped working for like 1 min and then it worked again BUT its lagging became worse since then. I played 1 game for 30 min today. It lagged 6 times in it ! Why my keybaord keys are dying one by one ! What should i do ? The laptop it not old at all. And i dont smash the keyboard or anything like that. How can i save my Q key !

    Hi @Mostafaeldeeb

    Looks like a hardware issue that needs to be looked into by Acer Services. Before that, try to "Restore your system to an earlier point", choose a date long before you started these keyboard issue. If still the same problem do a "Reset this PC" while keeping your files. If nothing works you need to turn in your laptop to an Acer Service point.😐️

    Sounds like you have a dust/flint buildup issue between the 2 fans and the copper heat sink at the top (see picture below)

    The video below shows you how to remove the fans to access the dust trap in front of the heat sink, clean all that out with a small brush, the only air duct where airflow should come from is at the hinge between the lid and the body, never from the keyboard.

    I cant find idhardware. I have those. Which one of those are you talking about?

  • OK! IDHARDWARE is not showing. However, does the keyboard also have problems in the bios? What is the bios version? What happens when you uninstall this driver and restart windows?
