My brother decided to give me his old Razer laptop. He's notoriously shitty at taking care of his possessions but I wasn't about to turn down a $2000 gaming laptop, so I accepted it. However, upon start up, both the trackpad and keyboard didn't work. I plugged an external mouse into the USB port, and both the built-in keyboard and mouse started to work. The problem seems to pop-up after every restart/wake up.

Has anyone come across this before?

Get of my lawn
Too much dried semen in the slots between the keys. It's best solved by licking them.

Spoiler
1st try updating the drivers, then a full format of the disks, and reload the bios, if that doesn't do it it's hardware

Sounds like he is shit at taking care of it . Sounds like some of the hardware has come loose, maybe he shakes it around or fucks it who knows. If it aint got warranty and you consider yourself tech savvy. Its just a few screws to open it up and check the wiring, probably dust and shit which occasionally needs to be cleaned out as well.
