How To Turn On Keyboard?

May sound silly but the keyboard/touchpad on my unit doesn't work. I've tried all settings I can think of (accessibility etc) but cannot find anything wrong. How do I reset so that keyboard/touch-pad works???

It sounds like the keyboard is defective or possibly disconnected. Instructions on how to remove the keyboard can be found in this video. Just check to make sure it's connected properly and then try using it again. If it still doesn't work then you'll need to replace it. You can buy a replacement keyboard on eBay.
