You could try removing the Keyboard and reconnecting the cable. Or you can replace it.

Keep us informed as to your progress if you require further assistance.

a bad notebook kwyboard is a common enough problem.

Replacements are not usually hard to get and fairly straightforward to remove and install.

It could be either a Software or Hardware problem here so you need to test your Hardware first.

Ideally try plugging in an external Keyboard and see if that works for starters if it does your Software Load is OK and you need to replace the Keyboard.

If it doesn't fix the problem you need to run a different OS instead of your native OS so try a Live Linux. These run off a CD not a HDD and you can boot them so they are ideal for testing purposes you can either get one as a Cover Disc on a Linux Mag at your local Newsagent or download one from here

After you get a Live Linux boot off the Disc and when Linux Opens open a Word document and test every letter on your Keyboard. If it works now the OS needs to be repaired or reloaded but if it doesn't test with an external Keyboard again. If it works now the Keyboard needs replacing and your OS needs to be repaired/reloaded.

If it doesn't work now the Keyboard Interface on the M'Board is shot and you need to either replace the M'Board or the NB if it is no longer covered by any garantee. If it is covered by a garantee backup all of your Data and return it to the Makers Nominated Service Agent.
