I have also come across this problem in the past as well. After cleaning out the dirt that wasn’t there, I finally removed the keyboard driver from the device manager and had it replace the one on my computer and now it seems to be working. We shall see, as it was always an intermitin problem

Howdy…I’ve noticed, twice now, that the “e” and “l” key wouldn’t work. It was as though the key was bad–rather new keyboard, but computer has appeared to be “wonky”, not working well. “Cursor arrow” has oddly “locked-up” and refused to work at all. Replaced keyboard, but, now this “e” and “l” thing. Randomly, and after a few minutes of pressing keys, they seem to decide to work again. Odd, hunh? Got any ideas? Odd virus or “command”? Random, as in days at a time-apart “occurances.” Intermittant, etc. Thanks, e-mail an answer back, please? (comp guys say I’m just annoying them.)

I had this problem. I replaced the keyboard and had the same problem. I noticed 2nd time into the laptop that the clip holding the ribbon into the motherboard was broken on one side (the snap part was gone). I replaced that from a broken laptop I had laying around (they are all the same size clip) and it fixed the problem.

A cheap and easy fix if that is your issue.

A work around is to get a USB keyboard. They do sell full size silicone keyboards that roll up, if transporting a keyboard around is an issue.

Anyone with questions about the Dell Inspiron E1505 and keys not working, you just need to buy an new keyboard. It’s not that expensive, shipping cost more than the keyboard. Replacing the keyboard isn’t hard. Instructions are on the Dell website under Service Manuel.
