Dell Computer Repair: Keyboard Problem Solved

Has the keyboard on your Dell laptop stopped working completely? Well, in some cases, you might have to take the entire laptop apart, but in less serious situations, the most probable reason could be that it is not receiving power from the mainboard. The mainboard on the other hand is also not receiving enough power.

Under such circumstances, following a simple procedure can solve the problem.

1.  Power cord disconnected from the laptop
2.  Battery is removed
3.  Power button held down for 15 seconds when the laptop is off
4. Power cord is reconnected
5. Laptop switched on
6. Testing done with the CAPS LOCK key. If the light is on, the keyboard is working again
7. All the letters keyed on to the notepad
8. Computer is shut down
9. Battery is reinstalled
10. Laptop is switched on

This kind of solution is suitable when the entire keyboard suddenly goes out together. If the keys go out one by one, then the keyboard will probably need to be replaced by a new one.

However, to be on the safe side, it is always recommended to seek the assistance of a Dell technical support expert.

It has certified Dell computer support engineers who are experienced in resolving all kinds of technical issues related to Dell desktops and laptops. The users need to call at APC’s toll free number 1 855 235 2101 where they will have a technician to support them.
