    Get an external USB keyboard and see if that works, if the same happens uninstall the Standard Keyboard PS/2 driver in Device manager and just reboot, Windows will reinstall the KB driver. If the external KB works OK you may have a bad KB cable contact or possible fluid was spilled on the KB, I recommend bringing the laptop to Acer Services in your country to check the KB.

    Thank you. I followed your suggestion and tried a USB keyboard. It worked perfectly.

    The old laptop is probably worth no more than $100, so it may not be worth the service.

  • Hello! Have you tried disconnecting the lition battery and keyboard?

    Do I have to go through something like this

    to open the case and disconnect the keyboard?

  • Yes! It could be a problem with the keyboard or the super io.
