Keyboard and touchpad stop working. Cannot log into system

[Envygone]

Originally my keyboard stopped working but I was able to use my notebook by using the touchpad. After restarting my computer now my touchpad I stopped working and I have no way to access the computer. I am puzzled. Any help appreciated. About all I can do is turn the notebook on and off

I understand that the keyboard and touchpad are not working.

Have you tried with external keyboard?

Try performing a hard reset on the PC.

Turn off the computer.
Remove the computer from any port replicator or docking station.
Disconnect all external connected peripheral devices such as USB storage devices, external displays, and printers.
Unplug the AC adapter from the computer.
Remove the battery from the battery compartment.
With the battery and power cord unplugged, press and hold the Power button for about 15 seconds to drain any residual electrical charge from the capacitors.
Insert the battery and plug the AC adapter back into the laptop, but do not connect any of the peripheral devices.
Press the Power button to turn on the computer.
The computer starts normally or a startup menu opens.
If a startup menu opens, use the arrow keys to select Start Windows Normally, and then press the Enter key.
After Windows opens, reconnect each peripheral device that was disconnected, one device at a time, until all devices are reconnected.

Try updating the BIOS on the PC and check if it helps.
