By the way, if you plug a USB keyboard, you can use a desktop keyboard
settings.

Donny,
Before you do anything else, see if you can get yourself a USB keyboard.
They aren't very expensive for the basic ones.
Next, plug it in and make sure that the Jaws setting for keyboard is on
Laptop, not Desktop.
Now, if you did spill something in there as some of the other members have
indicated, tha keyboard may be the only way you can make the computer
function.
If it doesn't work, you might have shorted out some of the primary control
circuits. Tbhat would be like holding down a key permanently since the
contacts open when you press a key.
If that has happened, that USB keyboard might not work. But Donny, it is
certainly worth a try.
Been there, done that if you know what I mean.

Sounds like something dripped on keys, but not locked.

A friend of mine has an HP Laptop. The main keyboard has stopped working.
The function keys and many specialty keys still work. Has she
accidentally locked it or something?
