Hey everyone,

 

A couple of weeks ago my dad's Inspiron E1505 developed a small keyboard problem. The Home and End keys do not work!

 

We think it is either a keyboard or motherboard problem. We've tried updating the driver, but that didn't work. We've also taken the keyboard off the computer and cleaned the connectors. That didn't work either. It is just the Home and End keys, everything else if fine.

 

I've looked through other threads here and on Google for solutions, but the usual remedy of disconnecting and reconnecting the keyboard does not work, as I mentioned earlier.

 

Does anyone know what the problem is? Does the computer need a new keyboard?

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

 

The computer is a 17-month-old Dell Inspiron E1505, 2GHz Intel CoreDuo, 100GB HDD, 2GB RAM, Windows XP Professional with SP2.
