[AccessD] Further to keyboard problem

[James Button]

If it was a desktop I'd ask PS2 or USB keyboard.

But will the keyboard will let you get to the BIOS.
Or - will it let you get to a System reset process - not to run that, just to
see if the keyboard is working

Next test - if you boot from a restore CD - will that (Linux?) OS recognise
keyboard input - assuming you have the system set to look to boot from CD (or
USB) before trying the hard drive.

And have you tried CTRL+ALT+DEL to see if that gets you to taskmanager and
logon/closedown options
And ... have you tried the icon at the bottom right corner to see if that shows
anything different.

You may need to do a recovery boot - to use safe mode and then after that,
closedown and  just redo a normal boot.

Yes there is a "power" key on the keyboard which turns the computer off.
It's as if the login screen itself just is not accepting keys.
