remove all power from your comp. without shutting down. remove external power first. then remove your battery. the drivers are overloaded and confused. this worked for me.

Might be the keyboard has gone out of order. You can try external USB keyboard to check it. If that works your laptop keyboard must have gone out.

what do you mean by taking out the battery? Is this the cord on the right side of the laptop? I also sometimes get a myseterious beep and the keyboard and pad freezes up and then i cant use the laptop and have to switch it off manually. Can anyone help?

I recommend the above listed solutions. It worked for me. Unplugged power cord and remove the battery while it's still hot. Wait about 10 seconds. Plug it again and boot up. Things will work the normal way. Can't explain why, but I think it's like a master reboot.

I had the same problem. As indicated above, I disconnected to power, removed the battery, reconnected the battery and restart the computer, then everything went fine.

Removing the battery from the laptop worked for me. I was going to send it in cause its still under warranty. Thought the keyboard was actually dead since it did not even worked to get into bios. I also tried a Linux live cd. Removing the battery worked lol. Strangest thing ever.

This seems to have happened gradually. Occasionally when i would wake the machine up the keyboard wouldn't respond when i typed the password. Now it has become a permanent problem. The touchpad also is unresponsive. I used an external keyboard and mouse successfully, but that defeats the purpose of having a compact laptop. Is this a common problem on this model?

Comment by Leahf, posted on Jun 22, 2008

wft. my computer HP pavillion DV2000 is doing the same thing. The laptop is on, working fine, but not one button on the keyboard is working. Did anyone find a solution to this? I have tried everything!

Is there a lock keyboard funtion?

This is so frustrating!

Hope someone can help!
