    keyboard dose not work on my sisters m1530 laptop that i am fixing for her.... took over 3 years... I got all of it running except her Keyboard. She had it replaced by one of her friends, and that made it so non of the keys work, any recommendations? Please and thanks for all the help, it would be a shame for a nice laptop like it go to waste. An external keyboard dose work.

    The beeping is probably due to a stuck key... I'd say just buy a new keyboard? They're like $10 on eBay. If that doesn't work, then you've probably got more serious issues...
