The keyboard of my Acer Switch 3 does not work at all anymore. I have tried restarting the device several times and cleaning all contacts with alcohol. I even tried uninstalling all drivers, but it still doesn't work. What makes me wonder is that the keyboard is recognized by Windows in the regard that Windows switches from tablet mode to computer mode and back. What could be the problem? Is it possible that the contacts of the keyboard are broken?

    Does the keyboard work in BIOS?

    Does an external keyboard work when plugged into a USB port? If it does then the problem is either the builtin keyboard has failed, or more likely the ribbon cable between it and the motherboard has either come loose or broken.
