Troubleshooting Keyboard Issues on Your Huawei MateBook X Pro

If you’re a proud owner of a Huawei MateBook X Pro, you may find that, like any device, it can encounter some technical difficulties over time. After using my MateBook X Pro for around three years, I recently faced a perplexing keyboard problem.

The Problem at Hand

The keyboard issue I’ve encountered involves the “?/” key. Despite my attempts to type, this particular key seems to have a mind of its own, continuously typing “///////” at random intervals. While the rest of the keyboard functions normally, this persistent problem has become quite frustrating. To confirm that it’s a keyboard issue and not software-related, I tested an external keyboard, which allowed me to use the “?/” key without issue. However, the same erratic typing persisted when using the laptop’s built-in keyboard.

Possible Causes

There can be several reasons behind such an anomaly with your laptop’s keyboard. It might be:

  1. Hardware Malfunction: Over time, keys can wear out due to usage and may need adjustments or replacements.

  2. Software Glitch: Sometimes, a simple update or reset can resolve keyboard input problems.

  3. Debris or Dirt: Particles can get lodged under keys, leading to unusual behavior.

To Repair or Replace?

Given that I purchased the laptop back in 2019, I’m faced with a dilemma: should I invest in repairs or seek a new device? Here are a few points to consider:

  • Cost of Repair: Getting a repair estimate will help you determine if it’s financially sensible to fix the keyboard or if replacement is a more practical option.

  • Current Needs: Assess whether the laptop still meets your performance requirements. If it’s been lagging or showing other signs of aging, it may be worth exploring a newer model.

  • Warranty Status: If it’s still covered under warranty or if you have any protection plans, it may ease the cost of repairs.

Seeking Help

For anyone experiencing a similar issue or who has a Huawei MateBook X Pro, I would greatly appreciate any insights or suggestions. Have you resolved a keyboard issue like this before? If so, how did you approach it? Your feedback could be invaluable in finding a solution.

Thank you for any tips or recommendations you might have!

  1. Hello,

    It sounds like you’re experiencing a hardware-related issue with your Huawei MateBook X Pro’s keyboard. Given that the problem persists even with an external keyboard, it’s likely that the issue is due to a hardware malfunction, possibly a faulty key or underlying circuitry.

    Here are some steps you might consider:

    • Physical Cleaning: Carefully clean your keyboard to remove any debris or dirt that could be causing the key to malfunction. Use compressed air to blow out particles under the keys.
    • Check for Software Interference: Since the external keyboard works correctly, software issues are less likely, but you can still try updating your system drivers and performing a system reset or BIOS update to rule out software glitches.
    • Hardware Inspection & Repair: If cleaning and software updates don’t resolve the issue, it’s advisable to contact an authorized service center or technician for a hardware inspection. In particular, the problematic key or its underlying membrane may need to be repaired or replaced.
    • Warranty & Support: As your device is a few years old, check whether it’s still under warranty or any extended support plans, which can significantly reduce repair costs.

    While DIY repairs are possible, handling internal components without proper tools and experience can lead to further damage. Consulting a professional is often the safest route.
