I use a Surface Pro 4 as my main go-to device for work and Minecraft. Lately, this thing has been going on where my type cover (or disconnectable keyboard) randomly disconnects and stops working. The caps lock and function keys don't even light up. I've tried to fix it by doing everything from reinstalling drivers to turning on and off the port in the BIOS. I've searched long and hard to find a solution that works for me but I never was able to. A few weeks ago, I got a new type cover but it still doesn't stop the problem. The only solution that works for me is turning off the laptop and waiting a few hours. Does anyone know how to fix this?

The oddest thing to me is that you're mentioning waiting a few hours. Are you sure restarting the computer doesn't fix it?

here's a few probable causes:
1. the pins are fucked up, clean them or check for damage 2. windows updates are at it again 3. if the pins are in any way damaged, try to send it to repairs if it still has warranty. 4. you probably have dropped the surface pro
