Thanks for using Fixya

basically, there is a pre-installed driver for keyboard in Y510. Check the keyboard if it work. If it is not, then turn off the pc, remove cables and battery.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds, reinsert the battery and keyboard then turn on the pc.

Then check if the keyboard works...

Here is link to purchase one through ebay. Good Luck

Your keyboard is shorted. Your computer needs a new keyboard.

Try the picasa (initially loaded on your machine), click the camera button then check whether it is okay.

If you don't have a picase, check your messenger then click the webcam to check if it is working.

There is no application in Lenovo to check the camera unless you have the applications mentioned above.

The download from Lenovo website is not working, check the links below to download the driver from a different source.

I Lenovo Notebooks cpu is located at the extreme left upper corner and when you will open then the heatsink will be visible on it.
after opening the screw of the heatsink simply turn the non removable screw and then lift the cpu.
