Right side of keyboard not working
I am trying to troubleshoot a E1-531-4836 model laptop, the right handside from the 9 does not work. So Num Lock and number pad etc does not work. The touchpad does not work well either. I can plug a USB keyboard and mouse in and they seem to work for the most part. Sometimes I can not bring up the charms etc with the USB mouse. then I have to hit the space bar on the laptop keyboard,and I then can use the USB mouse to bring up charms. I tried updating drivers and restoring to orginal settings. Did not fix my problem.
If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate them.
Thank you

I can't see a driver problem making half of a keyboard not work and if it was the driver for the Acer keyboard, the USB keyboard should work good.When you say "restoring to orginal settings", you did a complete Factory recovery?
If you did and still have the problems, you probably have a hardware problem with the motherboard and possibly the keyboard too.

Would it be a big deal to change out the keyboard? I really do not know alot about computers, and I think the motherboard would be a big deal right?

Keyboard looks pretty easy. This shows how to disassemble everything.
