I assume you checked out the keyboard by plugging it into another computer?

Follow "cherwoh"'s advice. If that doesn't work, I would check to see that your BIOS settings haven't changed. Maybe the motherboards PS/2 or USB ports have been switched off?

Also check the BIOS battery. This provide the power to store all of your BIOS settings when your computer is off. When the battery dies (every 2-4 years) it will reset your BIOS to default on every reboot, or can cause some strange behavior...

Is this a USB or PS/2 keyboard? If it is a PS/2 then the port that is integrated on the board is not working. If it is a USB, try plugging it into another USB port and see if it will work. If it does not work on either port then the ports on the system board are not working. It means u're having some malfunctions on the system board itself.

If it is a USB keyboard and it is that the USB ports integrated on the system board are not working, buy and install a PCI card with USB ports. It should work then.

Keyboard not working on my Dv9700

Try using a USB keyboard. If that doesn't work, I'll have an indication of possible causes. I want to isolate the keyboard from possible motherboard problems.

Get back to me with a comment because I'm following your problem.

How do I connect this keyboard to the computer

Keyboards connect several ways. Older systems use a PS/2 connector (round) that plugs into the purple/gray jack on the back of the computer. The mouse plugs into the green jack next to it.
If you have a USB keyboard, it plugs into any USB slot.
PS/2 connections must be made with the computer off. USB connections work any time. If one slot doesn't work, try another.
If the keyboard doesn't work, try another.

Whenever i type d ]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]] gets typed automatically and now my sshif key i not working for some key.its so irritating and when im switchin ]]g on my system it goes on boot manager.please help...

Hi!

To determine wether it is a hardware (keyboard itself) or an OS problem, plug an external keyboard to your laptop (you didn't mention the manufacturer or model of your laptop, but even if it doesn't have a PS2 connector, it has almost for sure an USB connector to plug the keyboard in).

Now, if the external keyboard works OK it means no OS problem.


Hope it helped.

If you know the batteries are good, then turn the keyboard over and find the small reset/connect button and press it. This resets /connects the board to the receiver. If it still doesn work, press the button on the receiver and then the mouse. Hope this is of help to you. Bud
