Hey guys,

Ive got a 'Satellite L650-12Q' and the built in keyboard has stopped working. I checked the device manager and it is listed as working with no X or ! next to it. Do you think its a hardware issue, or a software issue?

Any help appreciated,

Thanks

Nathan


Device: Standard PS/2 Keyboard
Driver files: i8042prt.sys and kbdclass.sys

It worked as you described, it recognised it and installed the new driver. However the keyboard still doesnt type. Ive opened notepad and none of the keys work. Do you think this is a hardware issue then?

No damage recently, I have a 3 year cover, but i dont think it covers the keyboard. Ill have to go in to PC World and see if they can help.

Thanks a lot COLGeek, very helpful!
