Greets!
This is to solicit understanding as I don't need to fix the laptop.
It's (or was) a trusty Asus UX330U acquired quite some years ago, in
constant use since then. It runs Debian (Q4OS, TDE desktop);
secondarily and rarely Windows 10. I was slowly moving to retire it.
The issue crept up over about ten sessions but is now constant.
You cannot type 'w', 'r', 'y', 'u', 'o' and return key. I haven't
checked if capitals are affected or if non-alphabeticals like '$' or
'=' are affected. It's got an American keyboard.
The problem is present when you boot direct to BIOS/UEFI.
All I want to know are likely causes. I don't propose to fix it if it
involves hardware replacement.
So why would such a thing occur? I've never encountered this failure
mode before.
