Heh yeah-I mean I was thinking the same thing...but pretty sure it's out of
warranty at this pint...guess I should look into that...
Though I have seen people complaining about having issues with failing
keyboards on these LG Grams and not being able to get them easily fixed-which
is weird as that's not something I've had much failure with on any of my other
laptops-lots of other things have failed like the screen hinge on my MSI
(multiple times) and the power and USB ports, but not keys randomly working/not
working like that...
And of course since I sent this it's both worked and stopped working, back and
forth completely randomly...and currently it's back to working since I can type
9(9(9(9( like this just fine... 😝
And the 7 key on the number pad started working again for the first time in a
while! 777! Cool!
Wish it was just consistent tho... :/

I think it would be a lot easier just to replace the keyboard on the laptop
...if you can get oneor use a Bluetooth keyboard or even a USB keyboard.
Logitech sells wireless keyboards with track pads. I use one with my TV

Ok this is SUPER WEIRD-the 9 key (and thus the left parentheses) started
working randomly today during the day for about 10 mins-I used both for like 10
mins today (tested it multiple times to make sure I wasn’t hallucinating) and
it was working fine!
Then a few mins after I tried it again and it wasn’t working again! So this
indicates that it’s likely some sort of weird software problem right? …or I
suppose it could be a weird random sticky hardware key problem…
Any idea here??
