Hi, To replace the keyboard on the T60, turn it upside down, Check out the screw, there is few pictures, there is 5 screws holes where you can see a little Keyboard picture. Take them off, Open the T60, remove the touchpad by taking up the top part, disconnect the little cable. Now take off the keyboard, still be carefull with the little connection. Make sure you replace the new keyboard in the same way you unbuild it, you might re-connect the keyboard and touchpad in the wrong way, make sure you put them back as they were. Re-screw, You re done ! If it does not work, means you re-connect the part in the wrong way ! thanks and have a nice day J -

Take the screws out of the bottom or enough to open the front of the case look under where the key board is and see if the ribbon cable is connected to keyboard and mother board.

Some say this is a issue with the BIOS ..and reinstalling it (update ) will fix the problem ..but in their case it always work on restart ..I think it is just a matter of windows driver being affected or some odd function on ...To see if this is the issue..get into BIOS settings (f2 on start ) and in there choose factory optimal defaults..and save changes with F10 ...
while you are in there ..check the functions for the keys..I mean if enter ..and the arrows works ...this means that it is a windows fault ..
after resetting to factory defaults..and saving the changes..restart it and see if ti is working ..If its not ..click right on my computer ..properties /hardware /device manager and in there look at the keyboard area and if it is in yellow with an ask sign ..it has no driver ..and you need to reinstall it ..or reinstall the operation system from scratch ..or use recovery partition or disk to do that ..
You can also try to click right on keyboard in device manager and update driver ..this will run installer wizard but Im not sure if the driver it is present in windows anymore ..otherwise should picked it up on start ..
If you have the driver on the cd that came with the laptop ..insert the CD and just install the driver ..or get on the manufacturer's site and download it from there to avoid the re-installation of the OS
