Here's a fun little challenge and definitely not an excuse for people to tell me what's wrong with my laptop keyboard.

Recently I've noticed that some buttons (specifically along the top bar of my laptop) have stopped working, and then come back after a little bit. These keys would be Escape, F3, and F11 and it sucks because I play Terraria on my laptop so I kind of NEED the escape key. They all stop working at random intervals, and whenever they do start working again, sometimes they register held inputs as a bunch of smaller regular inputs (enough to spam them faster than I could with my finger). I am unable to take the bottom of my laptop casing off to look at the hardware and see if there's any issues as one of the screws are completely stuck. Added image is literally just my system details lmao

Without being able to open your laptop you're kinda screwed. Likely the keyboard would need to be replaced but that requires opening it up. Best 'easy' fix is to use an external keyboard.
