Someone give this man a medal. My type cover stopped working back in February and I had to go to the Microsoft store for a replacement. They gave it to me for free but it was still a hassle. Today, after about 8 months with the new type cover, this one stopped working as well. I was so stressed about getting a replacement because with covid I am sure that would be even more of a hassle. But I found this video and the first step worked perfectly. Thank you so much for saving me all the effort and time I already had to spend once on this issue. Microsoft should really do something about this though.

Thank you so much! I was freaking out because it wasn't working during my online class, but the first method worked perfectly for me. I cannot thank you enough!

THIS WORKED FOR ME! After hours of googling and panicking, the power + volume up did the trick! I'm sooo happy!!!

Bro, I've been Involved with I.T. since the early 90s. Getting into the bios of your own machine used to be so much easier. As u might imagine I've looked this kind of shit up a trillion times. This tip fixed my keyboard and problem faster than I have ever experience before, faster than any help video that ever was. Homie, thanks for putting out a succinct, accurate answer. You have no idea how much frustration you helped curtail with this fast and easy trip. Keep doing it. Sure, theres are a million of these things up. But so few do it right. When i find a tip that works, I save it and the dude who posted it's name. Then when I have another problem I look back on who has done things right in the past. Oh yeah this guy dont bullshit, he'll give you a good answer. Stick with him for future issues.

A medal is definitely in order. Option 1 worked, but Option 2 forced me to look at my dirty connections that I have neglected cleaning over the years. I have the first generation Surface and still love it, so I was frustrated when this happened. Thanks WorldofTech!

Thanks so much! The BIOS thing worked for me (option 1), didn't have any faith in it, BUT IT WORKED!!

You are a life saver!! The cotton bud with hand sanitizer clean worked a treat....you have saved my working week! Thank you

[uttarakale]

thank you so much for your simple productive solution! super cool! please keep them coming!! :) 5 stars for you! My keyboard was unresponsive and I got it up and running in a minute
with your super instructions! you do deserve a medal!

[fenhu]

Incredible! I'd watched many videos in vain until I bumped into yours which solved my problem in a matter of seconds(option 1). Thank you much!

[kkkayb]

Solved perfectly (only did 1st method). You saved me.
Thank you so much.

Thanks so much for the information. I didn't want to buy a new one. I followed the first method and now it works! So thankful!

OMG!! My keyboard has been down for a while now and I purchased a new one today for more $$ than I wanted to. I tried the new keyboard in the store, and it did not work, so I immediately returned it. Saddened without a functional keyboard, I tried YT and there you are with two fixes. Tried option one, it did not work. Almost losing hope, but alas, the simplicity of option two worked like a charm. The time spent traveling, purchasing, worrying, and searching, all vanquished in seconds, with an alcohol-soaked, cotton swab. You've done a service today. Thank you!!

[goranmanojlovic]

actually he deserves two medals. One medal for each solution!!! Solution 2 worked for me!!!!

[longchhorvornn]

I was freaking out when I couldn’t type anything. The deadline of assignment was approaching. I tried your two tips and it worked for option 2. Thank you.

[danielkeiser]

You just made my day 🙂, I thought this was it for my old loved surface pro 4. But your super cool and easy fix (version 1) saved my old comupter from being replaced "already". Now give it a 2nd life. Thank you so much.

This was sooo helpful. I'm in the middle of doctoral work and I don't have time for the shenanigans and typing disruptions. Thank you.

I was skeptical about cleaning the ports with alcohol rub, but it actually worked
Thank you

[lorenbarnhurst]

Thanks man! I had tried everything but didn't know about the boot to Bios screen...I usually let go of the two buttons to just do a hard reboot. That first tip was the trick to get mine back!

[sodoo.o]

Wow, I cannot believe the alcohol method actually worked. Thank you so much for your help.

[LisaHaveman]

DUDE!! The rubbing alcohol worked!!!! THANK YOU!!!!
