Dell Inspiron 1505 key problem

Have this laptop where the "QWER" key will not work while the rest do ... tried turning over the keyboard to allow any material to fall out, but no help ... does anyone have any idea why those keys will no longer work ...:confused thanks:wave

 

Was there any kind of spill etc?

 

She didn't mention anything about any spills so to my knowledge there were no spills.:confused

 

I would start by uninstalling and reinstalling the keyboard drivers. It's unlikely that is the problem, but definately worth a shot. You could also take the keyboard off and just check that the ribbon cable is seated properly. If that still doesn't solve the problem, you're probably in need of a new keyboard dude. You can pick up a keyboard on fleabay pretty cheap, under 20 bucks.

 

Yea that's what is sounds like ... you would happen to have a link to where I can price a keyboard? Thanks for the info.:wave

 

I would try eBay, I've gotten a few keyboards from there and haven't had any problems yet. Fairly inexpensive too. Just type 'dell 1505 keyboard' in the search field.
