Great, no problem!

To be honest, your best bet is to send in to Dell and just have them fix it. Have you looked at whether you've uninstalled any software/drivers that could possibly relate to your keyboard functions? Edit: Ah right, so it's the Inspiron 15R 5520 I assume? If you're comfortable yourself, you...

It should say on a sticker found somewhere on your laptop, or the box it came in. (By model I mean, for example "Dell Inspiron 1546")

Neither of them work? What model is your laptop?

Considering I found the right specs, I'd say the HP based on personal preference.

Ah good point, Didn't even consider that!

If you bought the laptop brand new, it should still be under it's warranty. Considering you didn't do anything to the keyboard, you can get it fixed by dell. However they may take a while to do it. Depending on the model, an option is to buy the keyboard from amazon or any retailer and get...

Sounds like a major problem if it's jumping that high, and that quick. Can you see if the fans are working fine? Has the laptop been cleaned out properly? Sometimes things that come refurbished, are really not taken care of. You can try updating the drivers, may have an effect, may not. That...

I can imagine. Hope it works out though!

The only way you'll find out is by taking it apart to have a look. I do think that if it's broken it'll cost a fair bit to replace and get put in, should that be the case. It's hard to believe that there is that much of a dust build up that is clogging it to the point that it's not working at...

I don't think there is a setting or program for it. Just take the battery out of your laptop but keep the mains power plugged in. It will run on that.

Sounds like it's possible that you may have a loose connection, otherwise I don't see how a broken power button would do this. Have you opened it up to that point to check whether everything is where it should be and fitted properly? (The monitor>GPU/Motherboard connection), however I'd take it...

Lucky me!

Update: Sorry for the double post, but I've just been able to sit down on my own laptop. This is the driver you need: http://www.techspot.com/drivers/driver/file/information/14513/ - just download and install, restart your system and you should be all set to go :) Driver: ElanTech Touchpad...
