Keyboard doesn't work after Windows resume from sleep (S3) — how to fix?












6














I have a weird issue with my keyboard after resuming from S3 sleep: I can type perfectly for maybe 5 seconds, but afterwards the keyboard ceases to work until I hibernate or restart (or sleep again -- see below.) The rest of my system runs just fine -- just the keyboard apparently "freezes" up.



Some closer observations:




  1. The keyboard will work for 5 seconds (and freeze again) every time I resume from sleep, even if it was frozen from a previous sleep

  2. The caps lock light will work fine within the 5 seconds. But after the keyboard "freezes", the light will remain on, but I'll be unable to turn it off. Perhaps this means power wasn't cut off from the keyboard, but it's just some software freezing up the port???


Given this info, would this indicate a problem with Windows itself? Drivers, maybe? Can I rule out the BIOS as the culprit? Finally, any ideas on how to fix? Thanks!

    I have the same issue. Just recently updated my Win7 to SP1, maybe that's somehow related..

  • As I noted here: superuser.com/questions/480596/… my problem was caused by an entirely different PCI device acting up; I physically removed that device, and the problem with the keyboard disappeared.

First update the OS to the newest patches, then go to hp.com >> Support & Drivers, find the proper model and driver for the chipset and install it.



Hibernation/ sleep isn't working 100% fine. Many machines have problems when coming out of these states (Wi-Fi lost, audio lost, etc.).

I've had trouble with resuming from S3 sleep a good deal of time ago, and it turned out to be an USB hub that did not like coming back from sleep. Try unplugging the keyboard or plugging it into a different USB.

  • I'd guess (but that's really just a guess) it's the drivers. Have you gone to the device manager and checked if there are power replated options to the keyboard device (some devices have a power related tab in their "properties" there)
