It's only a guess, but I'd say your keyboard was broken.

But seriously, just go out and get a USB keyboard for now. Then you can start learning some IT hardware skills and fix it.

You'll need a +3 Keyboard of Kapitalization (-1 to spelling, +15% cold damage when using Numb lock). Trade the Orb of Rodents for it at the Radio Shack down on the 5th level of the Trow dungeon.

It could be something as simple as your ctrl key being stuck down. Does anything funky happen when you type? or does nothing happen at all?

I'd shut the computer down, and give the keyboard are real good cleaning with some windex and a rag.

nothing can be written at all. a friend suggested that it was due to a loose conection or something shorting out. that was what he thought.

Simple matter of yer keyboard run out of ink. Pour some ink into that socket on the back and bobs yer uncle.
Thats what some homeless bloke who used to be in IT told me anyway.

I'd go with tmeltzer's cleaning idea and then checking Device Manager to see if the keyboard drivers are okay before you start taking the keyboard apart.

I agree. But don't pour black in. People always fall for that one. It's too expensive. Go for Magenta, you can then send a red letter back to BT at really low cost. Make sure you pour it into the telephone socket - red letter to BT at no cost then!
