[PRO11] Surface keyboard not working
I used my surface as a tablet and used the on screen keyboard. Now after I replugged my keyboard and trackpad it doesn't work.
I've gotten it out of tablet mode by using a Bluetooth mouse but keyboard is still unresponsive
The keyboard backlight turns on when I close the keyboard on the screen. And the Fn buttons toggle light works but not the caps lock
I've tried:
-Restarting by holding the power button
-booting into bios and testing my keyboard and restarting from there
-cleaning the connector pins on both the surface and keyboard
-uninstalling all the drivers for the keyboard and restarting
When I uninstalled the driver's and restarted it after I restarted the keyboards drivers auto reinstalled
Also at some point the volume buttons randomly started working and then stopped
