The number keys on my laptop stop working randomly.
For example, when I’m typing a command with numbers into the terminal, the input just won’t register, and it randomly starts working again after some time.
I’ve tried all possible combinations of BIOS and keyboard settings related to numpads and it still won’t resolve.
