Hello
Concerning this bug and bug 661759,
They are fixed by updating the bios to the official bios F.35 A
BUT BE AWARE, updating it to that bios (at least my model) MIGHT disable your laptop (and will make you need to replace the motherboard), as it did mine. And by disable, i mean it disabled my graphics cards, but i could still test the battery and keys which worked.
Also, i found a guy on ubuntu forums with a different model but the exact same motherboard that successfully updated his bios and found the battery and the keys to be working.

In customer support they told me that HP is aware of this so i'm surprised why they haven't removed the download link for the bios for the model from their site.
They told me to wait for the next version of that bios which will hopefully fix this.
