Why wont my keyboard work?

When you say it does not work, do you mean any key doesnt work?
The fact that is works when you boot up appears to me the keyboard looks fine.
Have you tried another keyboard?
I do not know if drivers exist for your keyboard, you could try checking the dell website

Try re-installing your Driver or check the Bios settings

DELL's computers are not very good in quality, so next time don't buy that, and i suggest you take it to the customer's service for help if your computer is still in defects liability period.

Oh, it's easy. Many people have such problem. You can try the software "tuneup360". My friends and I all use it.

Here I have a good recommend for you: Tuneup360 and Norton system work, but the latter one is a little bit difficult. For the beginners, Tuneup360 is a good choice.

i wish somebody had a workable answer.i have to press the keys hard to move them to a document.I have dell L100 & need help.

possible reasons :
1.driver for keyboard may not be supported by bios so update the keyboard driver.
2. try connecting the other keyboard.
3. talk to dell costumer care

Mabye its broken?

>are you sure it's connected? when you boot your computer the keyboard would lit up (LED's on the upper part of the keyboard), then it's connected

>>try another keyboard if it will work

>>>try software tuneup360 on your keyboard

>>>>contact dell costumer service

You need to plug or unplug the keyboard connection

Clean daily your keyboard. remove dust.
