my keyboard still isn't working, I try pressing F8 but I get
nothing...

can I plug another keyboard into my laptop? or is that a rediculous
idea?

I have been reading up on some of these threads, looking for a case
like mine... alot of people mention windows XP sp2... will that help
me in my situation?

thank you so much for taking time to help :-)
