My laptop keyboard battery seems to have died - i have had it for 6 years and neverhd to replace it - is this normal? And now apparently you cannot get one?

Sounds like a bad battery if it works normally when it's plugged in.

i have same problem is the motherboard

can you still log-on to safe mode?

Yes, the battery has aged. 2 years is the most what you would expect a battery to last so that's normal.

My car has the exact same issue and so far I have not seen any solutions posted. If anyone knows how to solve this I'd love to hear it!

the monitor itself might have died. try hitting FN on the keyboard and adjut the contrast buttons under the F5 or one of the "F" buttons

Most laptop battery can be normal used in 400-500 charge and discharge cycles, in another word, a laptop battery should be normal in 2 year.
maybe your laptop battery is dead....
you should buy a new one.

It's definitely not normal. Did you spill something onto the keyboard,
and did it leak through the keyboard into the "guts" of the computer?

Take the computer to a qualified technician, top test that the motherboard of the computer is still 100% working. If it is,
then pay the technician to replace the keyboard,

Is it still under warranty, maybe an "all-perils" warranty?

On the back of the laptop remove the battery and any screws under it, if you look just above the keyboard theres a seperate peice of plastic now remove any screws on the back that could potentially screw into it and remove it (theres normally clips aswell and sometimes you have to slide it either left or right first. Then theres normally a screw holding the keyboard in normally locted in the centre and 'sunk-in' deeper than the rest of them remove that and the keyboard should lift up, careful its still attatched via a zif connector, remove this by pulling up the little tags at the edges of the connector pulling it out (should come out easily) then you looking for either a single cell battery or a black thing in the shape of a battery with a black and a red wire coming out of it.

Replace the keyboard. You should be able to plug in an external keyboard through your usb port.
