How do I fix my keyboard not typing on my laptop? If that doesn’t bring the keys back to life, or if the Keyboard icon isn’t even visible in the Device Manager, head to the laptop manufacturer’s support page and install the latest drivers for the keyboard. Open the Start menu and type “Device Manager.” Press Enter, and expand the Keyboards section. If it fails, restart your computer and power the keyboard on and off before trying to connect again. If you’re using Bluetooth, open the Bluetooth receiver on your computer and try to pair your device. If your keyboard is still not responding, try reinstalling the correct driver and restarting your computer again.
