when ever i take the battery out of my acer aspire 5920 the 1 2 q w a s z x fn both of the ctrl and shift keys tab capslock ` and esc keys stop working. the first time this happened i fix it by a hard reset, the second time the hard reset didn't work, so i had to take out the cmos battery cable for a few minutes. this time none of these things worked and i'm out of ideas. i have updated the bios and a lot of other things like that, i just need some help. will i be able to fix this problem or do i have to take it somewhere to be fixed and what is causing the problem.
help would really be appreciated because the on screen keyboard sucks.
 
how old is this laptop?

My guess is there is a loose connection somewhere seeing as it impacts keys in the same general area. You can pull apart your laptop and reseat the keyboard connector to see if that helps.. but, generally, I hate working on laptops.
 
the laptop is only just over a year old. and i have taken the keyboard out, its connected fine. it only happens when the battery is taken out, that must stuff something up. but i don't know that much about computers, so i need some help.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
