SOURCE: Dell Inspiron 1440 keyboard keys issue

you need to isolate this issue first.
where are you typing? inside IE or in MSWord?
If both has issues then try typing in the DOS Command Window. If same issue try to boot in safe mode and check if you will still be getting same issue in safe mode. If all yes try to check the bios and update it by downloading the latest bios version from the support site from dell.

I don't have a lap top but a PC and when I type anything it comes up with numbers instead of letters. I don't have a fn key so what do I do?

Hi.

You have your Number Lock on. Look in at the top right of the keyboard for a key which says Num Lock on it and press that key. That will remove the Number Lock and you will be able to type letters as normal.



Regards.

Want to connect an external keyboard to my Inspiron 710m

Yeah with new branded keyboards, such problems are occuring. This is because Windows XP can't detect the default software for these new-age hardware like USB-keyboard & mouse.

So for this problem you have two solutions, either download drivers for your keyboard from respective manufacturer's websites or simply upgrade your OS from XP to Vista or Windows 7.

Finding Dell keyboard driver

Well drivers for keyboard are automatically installed by windows..If the drivers are corrupted then I don't think so that other drivers will help you..

I will suggest you take the data back up and follow the instruction for recovery
