    Hi, I have had my Acer 5100 laptop for about 1 year with no problems until this morning. I used it last night turned it all off properly and then left it until the morning, when I came to it in the morning I turned the laptop on it booted up as normal all the way to the login screen but that is it. The touch pad and keyboard both seem to be unresponsive. I’ve tried using the touch pad. Pressing the Num Lock, pressing tab, putting in a few external keyboards and mouse. I have tried getting to the settings on start-up but because the keys won’t work I can't even find the problem. I can access my files from another computer. Hope that anyone can help.
