I installed Ubuntu 11.04 for the first time yesterday. After rebooting for the first time, I couldn't log in because I couldn't type anything using the keyboard. After rebooting, the keyboard failed completely; I can only automatically boot into Windows since I can't choose Ubuntu. Then the problem got worse.

I had to use On-Screen keyboard to log in into Windows. Still no keyboard. When I rebooted, my laptop couldn't reboot at all! I had to hard reboot.

I decided to uninstall the Ubuntu, using the Add/Remove program in the Control Panel. I uninstalled it successfully. My laptop automatically boots into Windows without Ubuntu option. However, I still don't have the keyboard!

Please help me.

Acer Aspire 4935 Windows 7 Ultimate

Thanks.

Well first of all you used Wubi so that's not the same as a Ubuntu install with it's own partition, now.. ubuntu on itself can't possibly be doing something to the harwdare of the PC, it must have been something else. – Uri Herrera Jun 25 '11 at 3:15

It's (very) improbable that Ubuntu is at fault here. Did you try another keyboard? I'm guessing it's just a hardware fault (maybe the Plug is damaged, or the cable, or the keyboard itself). – Stefano Palazzo♦ Jun 25 '11 at 4:43

can you get to bios ( by pressing del, or F2 (or whatever button acer uses) when turing on computer ) ? Not for making changes in bios, just to test if keyboard responds – Denwerko Jun 25 '11 at 7:53
