    Hi Everyone,

    I have an issue with my new T61 laptop. On occasion, my keyboard seems to be disabled and wouldn't do a thing when I typed. I would have to restarted the laptop to restore usage for the keyboard. Did I accidentally press a button or is this a settings issue or do I have faulty keyboard?

    Thanks

    The ribbon cable could be loose. If you know how to remove the keyboard and re-connect the cable, do that. Otherwise, send it in to Lenovo and have them take a look at it.
