Does tapping F2 at startup on the external KB do anything?
Aspire 5 A517-51 keyboard not working. Only the power button is working

No, that doesn't do anything. But when I enabled the bootmenu in the bios (can get in there holding shift while rebooting from Windows) the external keyboard responds to F12 to show the bootmenu, the internal keyboard does nothing.

Then how'd you get into the BIOS to change its F12 boot option if the internal KB doesn't work?

I wrote it directly behind the text you quote.. "(can get in there holding shift while rebooting from Windows)" (ofcourse with the external keyboard).
But nevermind, this piece of **** will be tossed in the garbage too.

Delivery dates suggest these might already be warehoused in US. Worth a try?

No, that's not an option. Like I mentioned in
And the worthless thing has been thrown away already.
Yes, I'm [Content Removed] that Acer "knows nothing" about this problem (yeah right..).

Yeah. They're 6yo budget machines. But I prolly would've tried it anyway. The culprit is often sticky crumbs & hair getting trapped under the covers. First causing intermittent issues. Then eventual board failure due to a frustrated user continually banging on its offending keys.
