The keyboard on my Sony laptop model PCG-91111L works in the bios but not in windows. (Windows 7 home premium)

  • ggreen915 Jun 15, 2011

    An external keyboard works in windows, as does the on-screen keyboard. I was hoping to avoid slicking this and starting over.

  • ggreen915 Jun 15, 2011

    I uninstalled the keyboard driver and rebooted. No joy.

When you power up the computer press F8 key then enter in safe mode. If keyboard works there then there is incompatibility of software or driver issue. for that uninstall recently installed software driver then check. if still same then need to system restore on previous date. for that in safe mode go to start menu->all programs ->accessaries->system tools->system restore. then restore to previous date. Then it will work fine. Let me know if you need further assistance. Thanks for using FixYa.

Welcome to Fixya
I don't see any keyboard problem there since it is working in BIOS. Try to use external keyboard to your laptop and see if the windows will respond. If same problem, I recommend to reinstall windows OS.
Please let me know if you have questions.
Thank you for using FIxya!

    Check the device manager and see if keyboard is listed there. Try to delete the keyboard then restart the computer. Let the computer re-detect he keyboard.

You need the Win7 camera driver, check sony support at:

just enter your Win7 operating system (there are 9 versions of Win7), and select the downloads (2)

Hello. I have Sony Vaio PCG-5426. And I can't reinstall windows on that machine. I have out CD-ROM "II FreeCom" and i try to reinstall with that. In BIOS menu I acces for first boot drive...

you shouldn't need to have to press f9 to boot from cd rom if you have it set in the bios as the first boot device , are you sure the copy of windows on cd that you have is bootable. Try booting from the disc on another laptop or pc and see if you can start it



Another option to try is to boot from a usb drive


instructions on how to do that are here

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=118576

once you have booted to usb you should be able to access the cd rom

depending on what version of windows you are trying to install you will need to run different programs.

you could also install vista or windows 7 to usb drive and install it from that, it is much quicker than installing from cd/dvd you would need to be able to boot from usb to start with though

how to install vista or windows 7 from usb instructions can be found here
