My S, Z, X keys are not working on my ASUS TUF Gaming A15 (2020) F506IH laptop. How can I fix this? I have tried reinstalling Windows and updating the BIOS. What could be the solution? Please tell me. I have seen many TUF users with the 2020 model having the same problem. Is it a software problem or hardware issue? Also, if I replace the keyboard, what is the price?

I'm going tomorrow to see how much a replacement keyboard is for this model.
I'll keep you posted with the costs of the fix.

Hey guys. My lap top's been fixed. They told me my lap top was super dusty on the inside (obviously I never opened it out of fear for losing my warranty) and the keyboard module was the issue. It was replaced and they're sending it back next week. If your lap top doesn't have the warranty anymore maybe you could still ask ASUS for help/ask about the module etc. Good luck!

Maybe you could get a new module and fix it that way? Seems like ASUS made them poorly, hopefully the new one will work for a little while.0

Ive got a quote of £170. He needs to strip the laptop down though before he can order one, as there are a few options. Is this similar to other peoples price and experience?

Hi, mine was sorted jsut now for 260£.
Had to replace the keyboard together with the palm rest as it's very hard if not impossible to separate them.
It is however the 17'' model and the part might have been more expensive.

Hmm, that is probably why he needs to check it first. Had to put it off until after Xmas, so thank you for the reply. If the new 5 series of Nvidia graphics cards are any good I might just bin it. My A15 is loaded with a 3070 and Im a bit reluctant to replace it with something less able. Once again thanks for the reply.

Mine has the 3060 but for playing World of Tabks mostly it's fine. With the 3070 , I assume 170£ would make sense as the Laptop SH would be around 500£.

This is because the inner layer of your Laptop's keyboard wires were damaged, the only way to fix this is to replace your Laptops keyboard either yourself or by bringing it into a repair center which is the preferred option, it is doable yourself but extremely hard and you will most likely break your laptop, the reason being is because your laptop's keyboard is most likely held in place by plastic pieces which you have to either melt off with a soldering gun or grind down with a grinder, both of which are tedious processes. If you aren't careful with the Soldering Iron you could melt other components of your laptop rendering it useless as well. However if you do attempt to fix it yourself there are guides on how to do so, there is no way to buy the plastic needed to solder the new keyboard back into place as it's only done in the factory where the laptop is made, I found a solution though being that you could grind the current pieces down to release the keyboard, replace the new keyboard and solder Black Nylon Zipties to the pieces you grinded down one at a time while holding the keyboard down firmly until the plastic cools into a solidified state. Obviously like I said this is extremely tedious and a 4-10 hour job depending on your skill level, you can buy replacement keyboards on Amazon for $60-100 but your best bet is to bring it to a repair shop if you're afraid you'll render your laptop useless on self repair.

Thank you for the details! That's probably the best all-rounded explanation I've seen for what's going on with our laptops, that it's a generalized hardware defect and nothing else, and why it's actually so hard to do anyhing about it by yourself.
