laptop keyboard has stopped working

I left my computer on hibernate and came back some time later and my keyboard has stopped working. Well I can type things if I hold down the delete and backspace key at the same time. A key will work now and again, but other than that all the keys can only be used when pushing delete+backspace. Nothing was spilled on the keyboard and it was not dropped. I checked the status of the keyboard and it says that the device is working properly. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver for the keyboard, this has not worked. Please help!!!!!!!!!!

I don't use laptops but isn't there a selection to use the onboard keyboard or an external one. Try that toggle, whatever it is.
