So everywhere i've looked about this issue its always related to Laptops, however my issue is on a Stationary computer and all the buttons except for 0 on my right hand side on the keyboard doesent work.

Anyone got a quick and simple fix for this? Normal 0 does still work.

Thanks in advance!

If the key is not already physically broken then you might get the numeric pad zero to work again by cleaning the keyboard.

Uplug and turn the keyboard upside down over a sheet of paper and tap the ends of the keyboard a few times with the palm of your hand.

Maybe some compressed air blasts (follow the can directions - do not shake) would help.

You may dislodge something causing the key to stick or otherwise not actuate.
