Laptop Keyboard Keys not working
I have a hp-1000 notebook and suddenly g, h, apostrophe and backspace keys have stopped working. I know it is a hardware fault either with keyboard strip or motherboard connector. I want to know which wire in the strip ribbon corresponds to which keys in this particular keyboard. Thanks

These 3 comments cover the solution to fixing the keyboard problem. They do not cover identifying wire that is causing the problem as that is NOT a practical solution.
The other solution proposed does not seem suitable for this problem.

Laptops Notebooks
A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.

Shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
