Solve : KEYBOARD Problem VERY STRANGE?

Answer»

Hi everyone.
Last week I threw coke over my laptop. I know I know.

After drying out laptop turns on.

No keys on the laptop itself work EXCEPT Enter and caps LOCK and shift.

I use the mouse to bring up the on screen keyboard and again no keys work except enter, shift and caps lock.
I plug in an external keyboard and yet again the only keys that work are enter, shift and caps lock.

I've taken it to a geek shop and they are gazumpt as to why even the software keybaord and both hardware keyboards all show the same ISSUE.

Has anyone got a clue as to how to fix.
I can ony get the the log in screen. It seems FINE apart from the keybaord issue. So it means I can;t get in to update drivers. It's a Lenovo Carbon X1 running Windows.

Please help.

Thanks

That is quite strange; do you happen to know if the repair shop tried booting the laptop with the internal keyboard disconnected? A faulty keyboard can cause all sorts of weird behavior and if you've split cola on it...

I was once stumped for a long time as to why half my FUNCTION keys (F-keys) didn't work but only in certain programs. Turns out it was the keyboard itself (not drivers), it also had the unfortunate habit of randomly causing boot failures.
