I was recently typing on my laptop and suddenly none of the keys on the keyboard work. I had to plug in a keyboard off my old PC in order to be able to use my laptop. Any one have any ideas as to what might have happened? It is a DELL Laptop.

Thanks... :confused:

My dell laptop is about 1 1/2 years old, I am on my third keyboard, 2nd screen, 2nd hard drive, and 2nd CD drive.

I know the on site service tech on first name basis

If your laptop is under warranty, call Dell.

If it is not under warranty, can you remove the keyboard? I've often found that the ribbon cable under the keyboard gets wiggled loose and simply re-seating it back in place fixes the problem...
