Hi shreeraj365,

With permission from carminabigue I would like to add a few steps. Please try the below mentioned steps and reply with results:
  • 1. Please start the computer and enter System Setup (BIOS) by hitting F2 key at Dell Logo.
  • 2. Restore System Setup fields to Defaults by pressing <Alt><F>.
  • 3. Shut down the computer and disconnect Battery, AC Adapter and external devices.
  • 4. Press and hold the power button for 10-15 seconds and then release the power button.
  • 5. Re-connect the AC Adapter and Battery only and power on the computer.
  • 6. Start tapping the F8 key and boot to the Safe Mode.
  • 7. In the "Safe Mode" press and hold "Windows key" on the keyboard and press the key "R".
  • 8. Run dialog box will be displayed.
  • 9. Type "
    devmgmt.msc
    " (without quotations marks) and hit Enter.
  • 10. Expand "Keyboards", right click the listed keyboard(s) and select "Uninstall".
  • 11. Restart the computer and wait for the keyboard drivers to load.
  • 12. Check the functionality of the keyboard now.


Thanks & Regards

Hello! I have the same issue but my laptop has a built-in battery, i cannot remove it. Does this also work without removing the battery?
