yes: a new keyboard.

 

open device manager with the keyboard unplugged and plug it in with the device manager window open - any changes ?

do you hear the "device connected" sound when you plug it in?

do other usb keyboards work? 

have you tested the not working keyboard on other computers?

 

if you plug the keyboard in and nothing happens it means your keyboard is toast.

 

if the keyboard works on other computers and/or other keyboards also don't work on your laptop then there is something funny with your laptop

Anything is fixable, the question is if its worth it.

I am sure you can open the keyboard,  see if there was any liquid damage anywhere, and take care of that, if you can. If not, then  replace the USB cable and see if that was the problem, else get a multi-meter and start analysis the board and replace whatever parts are broken with a soldering iron and parts replacement.

 

But if it is under warranty, I would just call the manufacture and have it replaced. If it is a Logitech keyboard, I know that Logitech will just ask you the bill of purchase to know if you are covered or not, and send you a replacement one, you don't have send anything back to them. At worst, they might ask you to but the USB cable connector and send that in a envelope the cheapest shipping option possible, or something like that. I don't know about other manufacture, but you cant' know if you don't call And CALL, don't e-mail or chat... you are just wasting your time with a third party support company and not directly the manufacture.

Well the problem is the keyboard is 10 dollars form my local tech store.. So it doesnt have guaranty. And this is what it shows on my USB Hub in witch it was plugged in before

have you tested the keyboard without the hub and the hub without the keyboard ?

 

could be a dead usb hub as well.

 

the cheaper usb hubs die easy - been through a lot of hubs already.

and of course they could technically be able to fry whatever is plugged into them ...

Does the keyboard show up in the Device Manager?
