Did this work in the past? Also does it work when you use an older iso?

tried Including

in the parameters by hitting 'e' at the grub menu. The said error has disappeared but the keyboard is still not working.

Good day sir.

Thank you for this link. I tried some of the old ISOs but still they keyboard doesn't work. I found out that since 2020 in this link that this brand of laptop has a problem with keyboard and still unsolved. But still thank you again for the reply.

Re: ASUS ExpertBook keyboard not working

There are probably no drivers written specifically for this laptops keyboard. Try attaching an external usb keyboard and see if it works. Had the same issue on Asus TUF.

Are you feeling alright today?

Good day sir. I already done the external keyboard before I made this post and yes it works. But its just a hassle to not just use its built in keyboard.
