f9-f11 keys have stopped working Hi, the f9-f11 keys on my keyboard have stopped working suddenly. It seems to be a hardware issue with the keyboard, as the keys still work on another keyboard I have. Any ideas on how to go about fixing this? Thanks

Did you use any type of liquid to clean the keys? If you did then you likely killed the keyboard and it needs to be replaced.
