Hi,
In that case, check the following.
The halt code ( generated after 3 incorrect entries ) that you've posted is correct.
Shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Plug in the AC Adapter ( leave the battery out for the moment ), start the notebook and try entering the code ( e9loa1abe8 ) again.
Try entering the code ( e9loq1qbe8 ) via an external usb QWERTY keyboard.

DP-K
