I would try booting the laptop from a Linux CD. A lite distribution like SliTaz would be ideal. If the keyboard works normally, you'll know the hardware is fine and something is wrong with the installed operating system. If not, either the keyboard hardware is defective or something is wrong in the BIOS.

The computer doesn't have a CD drive. Tried booting from USB but still no luck.

Possibly the ribbon cable connecting the keyboard to the motherboard is loose? You could try re-seating it.

You didn't mention a laptop model, but you might be able to find a maintenance manual (PDF) for it that shows the quickest way to remove the keyboard.

Fuck this, I'm going to let someone else fix it.

Awesome, now the external keyboard doesn't work either with that laptop ONLY, becuase I tried it on another one and it works perfectly fine. It has to be the software. But,why? I've never seen Windows behave like that.

UPDATE: I got the laptop back today. Apparently there was a shortcircuit on the keyboard that affected the USB ports and that is why the external keyboards didn't worked. But the external keyboards work now. And I also got one of those flexible keyboards with it.

Yeah, I am not an expert by any means. But getting off-topic a little bit, I noticed on my mail that someone by the nickname of cornhole replied to this topic. But I don't find any posts made by that user. And the most intriguing thing is that I tried using the Find a member feature to find him, but I don't get any results. What did his message said?

It was nothing of consequence. Ignore it.

I know it is nothing important, but I still want to know.

I can forward you the 100+ spam posts if you want.....

So it was spam? Ok.
