I've got a Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 14llL05 running on Windows 11, and recently a bunch of keys have just stopped working. The ones giving me trouble are caps lock, s, d, w, e, x, c, k, m, j, h, among others. I remember propping my laptop against a wall after placing it on a chair, but I didn't think that should mess with the keyboard. Is this a hardware problem, or is it possibly something with the software? What are my options for fixing this? I've checked for any external damage, but everything looks fine. Plus, I've got an assignment due tomorrow, so I'd really appreciate any help!

First off, try connecting an external keyboard to see if it works. If the external keyboard functions without a hitch, then it's likely a hardware issue with your laptop, meaning there’s probably something physically wrong. If the external keyboard doesn’t work either, it could be a software-related issue, though that seems less likely here.
If you determine it's a hardware issue, you might need to take it into a technician for repairs, especially if it's a significant fault. You could also try to see if tightening any loose screws helps, but generally, it’s better to let a pro handle the repairs to avoid any further damage.
