Laptop Key Board Rarely works, Why?

by dhrupod . Updated 18 years, 4 months ago

Hii,

Recently I was handed a out of warranty ACER Aspire 5600 Notebook in which the touchpad and keyboard works “occassionally”.

The scenerio is like:

“If I connect an USB Mice or Keyboard, the notebook works fine. But, Most of the times the in built keyboard and touchpad doesnot work.”

I have checked the drivers and in fact I cleaned the hard drives and installed complete new copy of windows. Also checked the memory modules and they are just fine. When the machine runs no burning or suspicious smelling comes out.

I also opened the cover and checked the board with magnifying glass and no physical damage is visible on the board or other modules.

I definitely understand this must be something to do with hardware but what is that? Is there any software to run in depth hardware checkup?

If any one knows please reply.

Thanks in advance.
