I have not taken any troubleshooting steps apart from considering the users manual on the keyboard replacing procedure.Please can you advise me on:

1) what will be the cost of a new keyboard

 

That depends on the model of Laptop and where you purchase it. Dell would be the most expensive.

3. can i replace it myself without violating the warranty?

 

Of this I am not sure, I know that in there are instructions online how to remove and reinstall the keyboard. So it may be something you can do.

4. in case of having to send my laptop to Dell how much time will it take for such a problem to be fixed and any costs included except shipping?

 

If covered under warrenty, then nothing. If not, I would suggest do it yourself.

 

5. i bought the laptop 2 months ago...does the warranty covers such things or since it was my fault i will have to pay it....

 

Depends on what type of warrenty, If you have Complete Care, then it's covered. If not, then it isn't.

 

Please reply ASAP

Thank you
