Touchpad / Hotkeys issues
1. If the affected key is volume or brightness, check to make
sure you are not at the upper or lower limit for that
setting.
2. If the backward or forward buttons do not work, check
that the same icons in a web browser are not grayed out.
For example, if the back button on a web page is grayed,
this is because the browser is not aware of a page to move
backward to.
3. Restart the Chrome OS by holding down the power button
until the device turns off, and then turn it back on again.
4. Try using the keys in the Guest account.
5. If users experience hotkey issues with the account that is
not the owner (primary) account, delete the user account
and re-create it.
6. If none of the above steps work, try to Reset or Recover
the Chomebook.
