Hi ,

try check ur keyboard in different applications like word, notepad and ur email...check if the keyboard keys are working or not...if no go...restart the system keep tapping F8 while its boots..select the option safe mode and check in the safe mode if the keyboard works or not...if still no go...u have to reseat the keyboard and its very easy.... check this link http://tinyurl.com/yfbyqu
Reseat the keyboard and before doing that u have to remove the hinge cover also..check the above website how to do that...So finaly even after reseating the keyboard if the keys doesnt work then the keyboard has to be replaced.

Hi . If a few keys stopped working on your laptop keyboard, maybe its time to change them, i had a few bad keys and i ordered for new keys from www.laptopkey.com
They have great service and a reasonable price.. Visit them if you need new keys , they'll surely help

Hi all - just had the same problems - with a Dell Studio 1555. It begun with the keys 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9 and 0 stopping working, and I saw plenty of cases of the same thing happening to others. I thought it might be a software problem, and tried the diagnostics - but in the end, it simply was the obvious - a malfunctioning keyboard - being dell, there are plenty of replacement keyboards available on online auction sites - I got one for under £9 delivered in a couple of days, and it worked perfectly

All the best

Doug
