    Do they work in Vista or 7? What about in BIOS?

    In BIOS you should be able to navigate the menus with the arrow keys if they are working. Is that possible?

    No, I'm just trying to see if the up arrow key works in BIOS. If it does, then this is more likely a software issue, if it doesn't, then your keyboard is most likely dead. Does the up arrow key work in BIOS and not in Windows?

    I think you should just get a new keyboard and see if it solves your problem. It shouldn't be too expensive... maybe $15 to $20.

    Cleaned the keyboard from dirt and buttons earned. Thank you for your attention to my problem.
