Dell Keyboard for Inspiron 1420, 1520, 1521, 1525, 1526 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Alt + F4 key together...

Borrow someones 'Dell' brand A/C adapter charger. If that works then yours is bad. If it doesn't then it could be the battery, but more likely the main board.

take it to a repair shop to get it check and fixed. one problem is that if you put to much pressure on the key and then it gets stuck. you can remove the key and check to make sure that everything is holding it up fine and also make sure there is nothing under it all tiny particles since that can mess around with your keys. to do what I said above it must not be a built in keyboard since it will be messed up forever so for built in ones take it to a repair store and for regular ones do the part I recommended above about taking the key from the keyboard.

SO! Press "start" button" at bottom left. Click CONTROL PANEL and choose MOUSE from the list... RESTORE DEFAULT should fix your problems

You should check your keyboard layout (path to it is OS specific). Or it could be that your AltGr (Right side Alt key) is stuck. In this case - cleaning your keyboard should help.

To clear the bios password on a Dell laptop or notebook visit http://www.unlockbiosrecovery.com/Unlock_Dell_Bios.php and order the Dell bios master password for $20 and they guarantee it to clear the set bios password. I use them often in my work repairing laptops.

Go to http://support.euro.dell.com/support/index.aspx?c=uk&cs=ukdhs1&l=en&s=dhs

Click the drivers and downloads section.

Enter your service tag number and procced to the download section.

Click Input Device Driver and dowload the alps touchpad exe file. Run this and your problems will be solved.

This problem can be very frustrating! It is typically from you hand moving over the touch pad to type on the keys. It would be lovely if they weren't designed so. To reduce the problem change the sensitivity of the touch pad to a lower level so it is not as sensitive.

If you recently installed this and the keys have never worked remove the keyboard and ensure that the ribbon cable is fully seated and that the lock is all the way engaged.

If it had worked and suddenly no longer works, you may have to replace the keyboard. You can purchase the keyboard from Amazon or many other online retailers. Instructions for replacing the keyboard can be found here.

Hope this was helpful

On Windows, the Alt key functions as a modifier like the Shift key. To make special characters, hold down the Alt key and type in the numbers from the numeric keypad. Note that on the some small keyboards (e.g. laptop keybaords) the “numeric keypad” is found by pressing the NumLock key and then looking for the keys on your keyboard that double as numeric keypad keys when in NumLock mode.

To remove the bios password you need to clear the CMOS.
Open your laptop casing look at your motherboard. locate the CMOS jamper it is near the battery. To clear remove the jamper and turn your computer on with in 5 to 10 seconds and turn it off. Reinsert the jamper back to there proper place and try to turn go to BIOS if there will be a password box appear.
