Keyboard Problems
I have an Inspiron 2650. When I touch certain keys on the keyboard it results in typing letters and numbers that are different than the specific keys. I have replaced my keyboard but that did not solve the problem. Help!

Robert Cole/anthonyd46,
Thank you for using Dell's Community Forum.
You should run the Dell diagnostic program and see if you have a hardware problem.
If the problem shows up during the diagnostic, then you have a hardware issue and we need to have either the motherboard or the keyboard replaced.anthonyd46

all tests were passed so not a hardware issue i guess- The fact that the kb passed the diags doesn't rule out a hardware problem. The diags test whether the key pressed works, not whether it displays the correct character. Try booting to a dos prompt and see if the fault occurs. If the problem shows at the dos prompt, its a hardware fault.
Hi,
I have an Inspiron 2650. The keyboard stopped working suddenly. I have tried everything I could think of. I have restored the system, tried to update the driver (even though it is up to date). None of the keys is working. Now, I am using another keyboard that I have connected to the computer. But this is not practical at all. What can I do?

- I had the same problem. I shutdown the system and removed the battery. I restarted the computer without the battery and the keyboard began working again. I shutdown and replaced my battery and I haven't had any problems since. I hope this helps. Good Luck.
