    Is the unit under warranty and if so you will have to talk to Dell about this problem since it is warranty issue and we can't help with it. But if no warranty then you need to remove the keyboard and get a USB keyboard and try again and if this fixes the key board. Then it means you need a new keyboard.

    I'll second that; it sounds like your keyboard is broken.
