    You should try reconnecting the keyboard. Why did you change the keyboard? What model?

    About 6 weeks ago I had to 'reseat' my Inspiron 2200 keyboard and it did solve the problem. I downloaded and printed (via another computer) Dell instructions on replacing a keypad, including pix, showing exactly where to place a regular screwdriver on the back edge (not bottom) to pop up the cover which surrounds the keypad...etc. It ended up be quite easy to do, nothing to unscrew, and it has worked like a charm since. See my earlier messages under my Dell forum name, "kreugerl".
