I've been having a problem with my usb keyboard. Recently its been shutting off on each one of my usb ports, as in i cant use them again for the keyboard, and i have no idea why. I called dell, and theyre telling me to system backup and reformat, which i dont tihnk will work. Ive used up all of my usb ports so now im using my old usb keyboard right now. anyone know how to fix this? thanks

bump. we got the keyboard to sort of work in safe mode, after pressing f7 i think, but none of the letter keys worked, only things like f1-12.

did you try to connect your keyboard to anotherh computer? it seems your keyboard is gone... you're lucky if it's the keyboard... just buy another one
