Acer aspire 5100 keyboard does not type characters
I turned on my lab top tonight and went to enter a search into google and it will not type anything. But I can use the function keys for the sound and for the help, etc.
There is a small ribbon cable that connects the keyboard to the motherboard inside. It is very likely that the ribbon cable has become loose enough to no longer make contact. If you send me the model of your computer, I could probably find you a diagram of pictures to guide you through taking the keyboard out of your laptop to re-seat the cable.

This could be a browser problem. Try using a different browser like firefox or chrome (assuming you use IE) and see if you get a similar problem. If it works OK on those browsers then try clearing the cache of your browser or reinstalling the program.
Go to any search engine such as GOOGLE and typ in the model of your printer along with the manufactures name as well. Here is an example.... Lexmark 3150
The type in free driver after the name and model number
You will see a host of websites that will have a driver for your printer so it will work on your computer. Just download it and you'll be set to use it in minutes

Not and easy deal. the whole top of the laptop has to come apart. Remove display then keyboard and whole top panel. Not something I would recommend for the first timer..
Try booting your computer from CD ROM with the OS CD/DVD already inserted and when prompted just try repair. If that does not work re-install the same on the same 'partition' assuming it to be C by deleting the the windows system files only. While doing so keep the internet on and immediately after the basic version of the OS is installed and the m/c boots-up for the first time, go to the official website and download the latest drivers for every component like toch-pad, keypad, display, audio, etc.(i.e. almost all the drivers)
