    I have an Asus laptop and some of the keys have stopped working.
    I've uninstalled the keyboard drivers and that didn't work.

    Does the keyboard work in safe mode? If not, is probably a physical problem.

    Have you or someone else spilled anything on the keyboard.....fizzy drinks etc? Or have you been eating over the laptop? Normally, if keys aren't working it's due to liquid damage. Sugary drinks spilled on the keyboard dry up and get sticky and can mess up keys.

    I've seen food....seeds from breads, bits of crisps and so on get stuck under keys and jam them. Turn the laptop upside down and shake it gently. Probably get loads of skin particles and hair falling out so do it somewhere you can clean easily.

    If it's liquid damage, it's hard to fix it without replacing the keyboard. Most of them can be replaced in about 10 minutes.
