I have a Dell Vostro 1500, and the keyboard stopped working. It was working fine until I went on vacation for a week, and when I turned it on it ran diagnostic tests. It basically looks like a blue screen, and a loading bar. Then there is a bunch of colors on the screen and it asks can you see the color bars? (yes/no) The problem is I can't press either, because the keyboard doesn't work! How do I know if the keyboard works or not? Well, it turned on once without doing the tests, and it was then when I realized only a few keys on the keyboard work, sometimes. Anyway any help given would really help alot!!! Thanks!!!!
**** dell buy a logitech or somethin'
Hi Keyboard is usualy plug and play and there is nothing to complecated and that hardware. I would assume a positif YES.
there is no way of testing keyboard other than trying to press keys and see if they function. you can use external keyboard to finish the tests in diagnotic. and if your keyboard has failed. you will have to replace it. you can find one cheap on OKorder or amazon. just type vostro 1500 keyboard in the search. they are not so difficult to replace
