atomicchicken Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Hello, I have an inspiron 2650 with a non-working onboard keyboard. Ive tried every suggestion on this board but no dice. Has anyone with the same laptop as me manage to get it working? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Here is another person with a 2650 with a keyboard problem I helped. He noticed some kexts with errors during boot and by repairing permissions, he got things working: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=193507 To see what, if any, kexts are having problems during boot, go to Terminal and type: sudo dmesg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomicchicken Posted November 26, 2006 Author Share Posted November 26, 2006 Rammjet, Holy smokes your fast!!!!! think i tried that but im gonna switch back to osx and try it out one more time. but theres one slight difference between my symtoms and spiffyfitz. i dont get any errors like he did. my sound works (thank god). just to be clear on the instructions: This Universal Install DVD has screwed up permissions on specific kexts, namely: ApplePS2Controller.kext AppleAC97Audio AppleAC97AudioIntelICH ApplePS2Controller and maybe: AudioIPCDriver.kext AppleMLANAudio.kext AppleHDA.kext The issue can be fixed by loading up terminal and typing: cd /System/Library/Extensions sudo find nameofkext.kext -type d -exec /bin/chmod 0755 {} \; sudo find nameofkext.kext -type f -exec /bin/chmod 0644 {} \; Disk Utility will not fix the problem automatically. so in other words i only have to deal with appleps2controller.kext, correct? also the exact command i will use is : cd /System/Library/Extensions sudo find appleps2controller.kext -type d -exec /bin/chmod 0755 {} \; sudo find appleps2controller.kext -type f -exec /bin/chmod 0644 {} \; is that all because in the instructions i noticed theres an appleps2controller.kext & appleps2controller (without the .kext) is the above the only command i need to initiate? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atomicchicken Posted November 27, 2006 Author Share Posted November 27, 2006 Allo, So has anybody with similar problems been able to get it working? Problem is onboard keyboard doesnt work but trackpad does up until I push any button on keyboard, then trackpad dies. Thanks ahead of time!
