Why is my keyboard not working?

I have a Dell Inspiron N5040 laptop and the keyboard suddenly stopped working. When I go into control panel, it says that the keyboard is present and is hooked up to the PC. I tried to update the driver and it is up to date, I uninstalled and then re-installed the driver and even put the driver and utility CD that came with the computer in it and still nothing. I have also downloaded driver scanners from the internet and they all say the drivers to all installed keyboards are installed and up-to-date. I've run out of options and need help.

Update:

The keyboard is internal and my mom would kill me if I took her laptop apart. And we have no money to spend on tech guys

    Try booting in F8, if you can. You should see a menu that has system restore. Maybe that can work.
