Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 7, Vista)
You can find the full procudure in this document: To test your keyboard, reboot the computer and press F2 to access the UEFI diagnostics. That should at least allow you to use your computer somewhat. Note that I'm assuming here that you couldn't get logged on because either your user name or password or both uses one of the keys that isn't working.Īlternatively you can also just connect an external USB keyboard, like what you might use with a Desktop PC. This should bring up the On-Screen Keyboard and allow you to enter your user name and password.
Well, to get logged in (assuming your PC is at least booting up to the Windows Logon screen), you can try to use the On-Screen Keyboard, just click on the Ease of Access button (should be on the lower left hand side of the logon screen) and put a check mark in the box next to 'Type without the keyboard' and select OK.
