Hey, so my samsung-np900x3e laptop had liquid damage to the keyboard, rendering most of the keys inoperable. I did not send it for repair, instead I'm using a USB keyboard right now. It was fine for a while.
So here's the problem: These few days, whenever I start my laptop, it boots into a "Phoenix SecureCore Tiano Setup" thing, and for some reason my external keyboard would not respond for a period of time. I'd have to (I know this is really bad) sort of lightly smash the original keyboard and for some reason my external keyboard would work. Also, when I finally start using the laptop my external keyboard's left Control key would not work. I know that my external keyboard is fully functional as I tested it on another PC.
Can anyone help me here? Why do I always boot into the setup page and why does my external keyboard's control key not work on my laptop? Is it because there's a stuck key somewhere, and if that is the case is it possible for me to disable my built-in keyboard? Finally, what is your opinion on leaving the laptop in sleep mode overnight instead of shutting it down?
Thanks in advance!
