Testing an HP laptop keyboard

This page uses the Windows laptop layout found on HP Pavilion, Victus, Envy, Omen, ProBook and EliteBook laptops. Tick Numeric keypad if your HP has one. Press every key and make sure each turns green.

What the colours mean

  • Green — the key sent a signal to your computer. It works.
  • Blue — the key is being held down right now. A key that stays blue after you let go is stuck.
  • Red outline — shown when you click “Highlight untested keys”: keys you have not pressed yet.
  • Dashed — Fn and Touch ID are handled inside the laptop and are never visible to any website. Test Fn through its shortcuts instead (Fn + brightness or volume).

Function keys not working on your HP laptop?

HP laptops ship with the top row set to actions (brightness, volume). To make F1–F12 work without holding Fn, restart, press F10 to open the BIOS, and under System Configuration turn off Action Keys Mode.

Run HP's hardware test

Restart and press Esc repeatedly to open the startup menu, then press F2 for HP PC Hardware Diagnostics. Its component tests can confirm a keyboard fault before you contact HP support.

A key does not light up — what next?

  1. Rule out software first. Restart, then test again. Check that Filter Keys / Sticky Keys (Windows Settings → Accessibility → Keyboard) are off.
  2. Plug in a USB keyboard and test it here. If the external keyboard works, the laptop keyboard hardware is at fault, not Windows.
  3. Clean it. Turn the laptop off, tilt it, and blow compressed air under the dead key in short bursts. Crumbs and dust cause most “dead” or “sticky” keys.
  4. Reinstall the driver. Device Manager → Keyboards → right-click the keyboard → Uninstall device, then restart. Windows reinstalls it automatically.
  5. If one key or one whole row is still dead, the keyboard (or its ribbon cable) needs replacing. On most laptops the keyboard is a separate, inexpensive part.

Frequently asked questions

Is the HP Keyboard Test free to use?

Yes. HP Keyboard Test on WebToolNest is completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limits.

Is my data stored?

No. Most checks run entirely in your browser. Tools that must contact a network service — such as the speed test or IP lookup — only send what is needed to get the result, and we never store it.

Yes. WebToolNest works in any modern browser on Android, iPhone, iPad, Windows, Mac and Linux. There is nothing to install.
