If specific keys are sticking or missing, you can often repair them without replacing the entire keyboard assembly.
This is a highly effective fix for the Elite x2 1012 and G2 series. Detach the travel keyboard. Power off the tablet.
If the system is frozen, hold the Power + Volume Down buttons for 15 seconds to force a hardware-level restart. 2. Physical Connection & Cleaning
Restart the tablet; Windows will automatically reinstall the driver upon reboot.
The Elite x2 uses a pogo-pin connector (the gold pins) to communicate. Dirt or oxidation here is the most common cause of intermittent connection issues.
Right-click and select "Uninstall device".
