Exactly what is the problem here? The touch screen isn't working? How?

I think the keyboard wont type and only the touch screen is working.
Would I be correct?

Well, if that, is your keyboard disabled at all? does Windows detect it? may be a bad keyboard or loose connection. Could be bad chipset drivers, too.

 

[MyGodAL3X]

On a laptop, I would think the chipset driver would be the most common problem and would be quite easy to diagnose

 

[MindoverMaster]

True. If there is a default or no driver, there is no chipset drivers. You need special drivers to use the special FN keys and so forth. But as he cant use it period, I would first see if Windows can detect it at all.

 

[MyGodAL3X]

True True, and if it is not detected, wouldn't it be a safe course of action to send it back to the manufacturer, seeing as fiddling around in a laptop can get quite messy, especially when looking for the keyboard cable?

 

[MindoverMaster]

If it is under warranty, definately. But if it is not under warranty, it is not that hard to remove a keyboard. If that is the problem.
