    So you press a key and nothing shows up on the screen? Are you typing IN something like a word processing document? What make and model laptop?

    Doesn't Matter Where I Try To Ytpe, Will It Be A Web Page Search Or A Word Document, Nothing Comes Out, Even The Cursor Is Not Being Positioned.
    My Laptop Is A Dell Inspiron 2500 Old Clunker.

    Did it ever work? Sounds like the keyboard has died. Dell has a rep for keyboard problems. Try remoiving the keyboard and blowing it out with compressed air.
