JojoLefRei Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Hi everybody! I have a big problem since I installed the Dell Laptop package (http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=97966&pid=1095790&mode=threaded&start=800#entry1095790) on my Dell Inspiron 1525... (I think it's due to the "Keyboard Layout French") My keyboard doens't work at all ! Even when the computer boots, I can't even use it to go to the BIOS ! I think I can't do anything because my computer is forced to boot on OSX and everytime you want to handle with drivers, they ask you a password... I have no PS/2 on my computer and no USB Keyboard at home... I'm affraid sending my computer to Dell, if they discover that I installed OSX on it...

Try pulling your battery and holding your power button for 5 seconds. If that doesn't do it I'd say getting ahold of a USB keyboard might be your only option.

matmatoo Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 When I install OSX on in Inspiron 1520, I use a USB mouse and keyboard until I install controller kexts to make my touchpad and keyboard work. I'm afraid getting hold of a usb keyboard is the only solution I can give.
