my middle row of keys arent working, 4 beeps = 2 short, 2 short?

trying to fix a friends dell inspiron 1521 that i sold him. it worked great before, now randomly the middle row of keys (asdfghjkl;') do not work. I swapped it out with a working keyboard and still no luck. at post it also beeps 4 times, 2 short beeps.. pause.. 2 short beeps. The computer does log on, but i have to use the on-screen keyboard to type in the password. What do you guys think is wrong with it?

Update:

an inspiron 1521 is a dell Laptop, so there is no usb keyboard
