Step---1


Step----2



Step---3

Sure replace it.

As for the language settings, click Start/Control Panel/Regional and Language Options

Plug in an external usb keybaord and check to see if it works. This will make sure there is nothing wrong with the laptop and just the laptop keyboard.

If this works then this means that your laptop keyboard has been disconnected from the laptop. remove your keyboard from the laptop and check to see if the connection has been damaged or removed. Unplug the connection, plug it back in and test.

Please rate if this helps.

Thanks

The keyboard cannot be disabled as such as to do that would render the system useless.
Check the floppy cable from the keyboard to the motherboard and re boot.

i would suggest you get a new keyboard. Has anything been spilt on it. The keys you have said, sound like a cluster that has gone within the keyboard. The keyboard shouldnt be to much. You can take a keyboard out of a laptop either by unscrewing some screws on the back with a little keybaord next to them, or you would need to carfully pry a cover next to the keyboard to show the screws that are holding it down.

This can be either a bad keyboard or a bad system board. There's no way to tell without swapping out the keyboard. Laptop keyboards aren't hard to replace and cost about $50-60. If that does not resolve the problem, learn to live with it because a replacing the system board generally isn't worth the cost unless you have it covered under warranty.

are you referring about the keybaord back lights? please check bios version. turn on computer then keep tapping f2 to enter bios. compare it with from the bios from he support site..if all fails then ask dell support tech to have keyboard replaced.

check you keybaord connection open your laptop then chech the keyboard connection to the Motherbaord.maybe this is lost only thats why not working..

Well I guess you will know when you try typing, if there is no light indicator on the keyboard ( well there just dumb ) and you can't do anything about it.

Hi,
Try in safe mode:
Switch on the laptop and start tapping 'F8' key multiple times (especially when you get the dell logo.Locate safe mode and hit enter (by using the down/up error key).Open a notepad and check all the keybaord keys one by one and confirm if it works.
Test keyboard:
Switch off the laptop (if it is already switched on). Press "Fn" and power key together, this will launch a test (psa), wait for a message "where the color bars displayed",press 'Y' to continue the test. follow onscreen instructions till you rach a window with four options,(express test,symptop test,custom tes,,,,,), click on custom test and select keyboard, click on run test.....and confirm if keybaord works while running the test.
