Hi Salma Repole
Try following this step below to dismantle your keyboard
Asus Chromebook C201 Keyboard Replacement
there is a lvds cable which is connected to the mainboard. Disconnect it carefully and clean up your keyboard.
Use an eraser to rub on the LVDS cable connector of the keyboard module and reconnect it back.
Test your keyboard, one good link to test and spam the keys...
http://www.keyboardtester.com/
Launch It and test...
If all fails, consider getting a replacement keyboard module from ebay.

1. Check for Physical Issues:
- Dust or Debris: Dirt or dust under the keys may cause them to not register. Try cleaning the keyboard.
- Solution: Gently clean the keyboard using compressed air or a soft brush.
- Sticky Keys: If something has spilled on the keyboard, certain keys might be stuck.
- Solution: Clean the keyboard using a damp cloth with a small amount of rubbing alcohol, or consider removing the keycaps (if possible) to clean underneath.
2. Check Keyboard Settings:
- Filter Keys (Windows): This feature sometimes ignores repeated or brief keystrokes.
- Solution:
- Go to Settings > Ease of Access > Keyboard.
- Make sure "Filter Keys" is turned off.
- Solution:
- Accessibility Settings (Mac):
- Solution: Go to System Preferences > Accessibility > Keyboard, and ensure features like Slow Keys or Mouse Keys are disabled.
3. Test on Another Application:
- Test Keyboard Input: Open a different app (e.g., Notepad, Word) to see if the issue persists.
- If it works elsewhere, the issue could be specific to one app.
4. Try Another Keyboard:
- Plug in another keyboard (USB or Bluetooth) to see if the issue still occurs. If it works, your keyboard may be malfunctioning.
5. Driver or Software Issue:
- Update Keyboard Drivers:
- On Windows: Go to Device Manager, expand Keyboards, right-click your keyboard, and select Update Driver.
- Restart Your Computer: A restart may solve temporary software glitches.
6. Hardware Failure:
- If none of the above work, the keyboard could be damaged and may need to be replaced.
7. Check with an Online Keyboard Tester:
- Test Key Presses: Use an online keyboard tester to check if the keys are registering at all.
- Solution: Go to a website like keyboard-tester.org and press the unresponsive keys. If the keys don't show up, it's likely a hardware issue with the keyboard.
