Keyboard

The built-in keyboard does not work
Attaching a PS/2 keyboard to your notebook or port replicator while your
notebook is running may deactivate the built-in keyboard.
The external keyboard does not work
Make sure that the keyboard cable is plugged in correctly.
Remove all extension cables and switchboxes.
Clean the keyboard by using an aerosol can of air with a narrow, straw-like
extension to remove dust and lint trapped under the keys.
Try a keyboard that you know works to make sure that the keyboard port
works.
If you spilled liquid in the keyboard, turn off your notebook and unplug
the keyboard. Clean the keyboard and turn it upside down to drain it. Let
the keyboard dry before using it again. If the keyboard does not work after
it dries, you may need to replace it.
