Notebook keyboard is crazy

Asked by brunoguimaraes in General Laptop, Mice / Keyboards

Tags: 1501, inspiron, keyboard

Hi,

I have a Dell Inspiron 1501 notebook. Something strange is happening with its keyboard.

The PAGE UP key doesn't work. And when I press any of the following keys - Q, W, E, R, U, I, O and P - then it's like page up was pressed many times.

For example, when I'm editing text, and I'm on page 10, if I press any of those keys, then it returns to the beginning of the document.

Any ideas what it is? Is it the keyboard that is defective? Or could it be a virus or something?

One more thing, can I deactivate the notebook's keyboard, so I can use an USB one?

Thanks in advance!Start Free Trial
