My compaq A910EM laptop has a keyboard problem.
I cannot even log on as the only keys working are the vowels, a,e,i,o,u and the number 4.
It was fine yesterday and this problem began when I started it up today.
I'm hoping a button sequence is the answer.
Please help.
Press the FN+NumLock key - you have probably switch on NumLock???
If not, then the keyboard cable has probably come loose.
Look for some way to remove the keyboard. Sometimes a screw from underneath, sometimes two or three small catches at front of keyboard (small gaps in metal plate in front of space bar). Sometimes top plastic bar above keyboard slides sideways.
Keyboard cable uses goes into a header socket - to refit:
Switch off and remove battery and power first!
1. Prise up each end of the socket with a blunt knife - the outer part of the socket should move up a few mm
2. Push keyboard cable down fully
3. Push down each end of the header socket so it is flush with the lower part of the socket.
4. Test keyboard

Thanks a lot for the suggestion. However, since I posted the problem, I have tried connecting a seperate usb keyboard and that has the same problem.
Can any body help?
I have a laptop with Vista. I cannot even log on as the keys produce wrong letters or numbers.
