HELP!! Keyboard doesn't respond anymore

Postby Griek » Sun Jun 27, 2010 11:07 am

I have a problem: my keyboard doesn't respond anymore to anything. I'm not even able to reboot in safe mode. Only the cursor works. Everything else works fine (internet etc.) Anybody?

Thanks! :(

Can you enter the BIOS on reboot? If the keyboard is not responding even before heading into Windows, you've got a hardware issue. You can get service done on it, or just open it up yourself and check the keyboard flat cable, if it's loose you'll know. There are some tear-down service videos linked somewhere here from a long time ago.

If you need to back up critical files before sending it in for repairs, just plug in a USB keyboard. It will work unless you have a bigger problem with the motherboard.
