Keyboard doesn't work in bios screen

Does your laptop work when you plug in a USB keyboard? When you startup the machine, do the keys respond (depending on your laptop, push the key to get into the system BIOS). If it allows you to get into the system BIOS, then it maybe a software issue.

Hi,
Press F2 at system boot up to enter BIOS Settings and look for brightness option and adjust it accordingly under "VIDEO - BRIGHTNESS. Use arrow key to highlight VIDEO then BRIGHTNESS - Press ENTER.

Hope it helps! Good Luck! Thanks for using Fixya!

Hi, you maybe just need a driver for the mainboard.

You can download here:

Try the chipset driver first.
Please unzip the file before installation.
You maybe also need the driver for the usb controller.

Try to use a PS/2 mouse until the driver is installed.

Is the keyboard working in bios mode? if Still not working. Go to the nearest service center. Tnx

The keyboard may be faulty, try a different keyboard, but don't use an USB keyboard because an USB keyboard may not be recognised until Windows is running.

First, try to find out if the issue is related with the hardware or software..

1. go to BIOS
2. press the alphabets which are not working (if you get beep the prob is related with software if not the prob is with hardware)

----------if its hardware related------

1. power drain by removing ac adapter, battery n other accesories connectd
2. go to BIOS n set it to BIOS default
3. check if its working in BIOS page which are not working in the desktop screen(if its not working, the prob is related with the hardware issue. it has to be given for service

--if the prob is related with the software--

1. power drain by removing ac adapter, battery n other accesories connectd
2. do system restore (all programs -> accessories -> system tools -> system restore)
3. try BIOS default
4. Update BIOS
5. Uninstall the drivers
6. restart
7.try system recovery

(if it doesn't work, its to be given for service)

let me know if it works

Is this a USB or PS/2 keyboard? If it is a PS/2 then the port that is integrated on the board is not working. If it is a USB, try plugging it into another USB port and see if it will work. If it does not work on either port then the ports on the system board are not working. It means u're having some malfunctions on the system board itself.

If it is a USB keyboard and it is that the USB ports integrated on the system board are not working, buy and install a PCI card with USB ports. It should work then.

check with your keyboard works in Bios
please check with external key board
if it works ,then need to change the key pad

I read somwhere that most motherboards have a third layer of conductors laminated in the middle of board.It could be possible that you are shorting out something there. Take the screws out and try it without the heatsink for a minute or so. Most big DUI stores sell plastic screws in their hardware areas. These will work no problem.
