My keyboard's top row doesn't work

So I've been unable to use the top row of my keyboard (escape key and function row) for a bit now, and it's getting a bit irritating and I can't even rebind it in my keyboard's software since it doesn't register (board is FNATIC miniSTREAK)

I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling the keyboard drivers and searching for an update and nothing has worked. Should I just try and email support since the board is under warranty? Or is there something else that can be done so I don't have to go through any of that?

I think it's also worth noting that there's a reset type of pin on the back of the keyboard and either I'm a wimp and can't hold it down for the 10 seconds using what I have on hand (which was a few pens and pencils). I might be able to try digging in my dad's toolbox at home to see if he has something that can properly reset it but outside of that it seems like I'm out of options to get this fixed unless someone knows of some other way to solve this

you must use the reset switch on the back
if that doesnt fix it get support.

Try the reset switch, if that doesn't work try to get a RMA. When a row or column stops working it's usually an issue with the keyboard controller, usually need to reflow solder to one of the pins. It is much easier getting a replacement that trying to do this yourself & it would void warranty
