You probably need a new keyboard :/
When keys don't work, it usually means that it got liquid on it (which instantly ruins it)

chek the good conect it in to the main bord two if it well conect disconect it and try with a usb external keyboard to descart fail in to the main bord if it is work fine change you keywoard rempace it

Please restart your computer at once. If it doesn't work check the Keyboard cable from your computer. thanks

keyboard has gone bad, you need to have it replaced - you can do it, try ebay for a replacement keyboard

This could be a possible hardware issue. You can try to use an external USB keyboard and check if the keys are working or not. If you do not have an external keyboard, you can try to use the onscreen keyboard. To do this, go to start>programs>accessories> accessiblity and then choose on-screen keyboard. Open a notepad and try to use the keys which are not working using the onscreen keyboard. If onscreen keyboard works fine , then you need to get the keyboard replaced.

I had a similar problem and it turned out to be excessive heat from the battery. Try running the laptop on ac without the battery as a test.

Sounds like keyboard failure, replacement keyboards are around $20 on Ebay

The keyboard is probably broken or the cable is loose (unlikely) from the motherboard. Does the keyboard work at all? at any point?

Try a external keyboard, usb for example and see if that works.

Buzzy, Yes you can connect an external keyboard to your PC. Some newer ones no longer have the round, PS2 connector so in that case you?ll need to use a USB keyboard. Please note that if you go the USB route you should start your PC and log in first, and then connect the keyboard. Windows will then load the drivers and you should be good to go. Let us know how it goes and please don?t forget to rate this post.
