I have dell inspiron 1525 with windows 7 on it.
Today I just disassmbled the laptop cleand the dust and reassembled it.
But now some of the keyboard keys(1,a,q,z,c,d,e,Tab,F4) are not responding.
When I remove the keyboard from laptop and keep just the keyboard cable connected to laptop and then all keys respond properly.
But after fixing the keyboard on laptop key problem starts.
What might be the problem and how to rsolve this issue?
http://support.dell.com/suppor.....#wp1180346 See this if you didn't already. Without having it to actually look at it, probably something is not quite back in place. Did everything work prior to disassembly?
When you say 'keep just the keyboard cable connected to laptop and then all keys respond properly.' Do you mean external keyboard?
What did you fix?
Ensure the spring connectors are locating, prise them up if they are there.
With the internal KB connection it is paramount to insert correctly, the insertion is quite precise. A small amount of movement will mess the KB.

Thanks warlock and vistamike for the reply.
Warlock everything was fine before disassembly.
I had tried the same mentioned in the dell link but it did not help.
vistamike I mean that internal keyboard cable unscrewed(top two screws) from laptop but connected into the laptop keyboard connector. Am I able to make sense?
The keyboard cable look to be properly inserted.
Any idea how fix this issue?
Not really. You are the mechanic now. Just needs put back how it was. Could be the cable but, I think it is more the keyboard keys, springs and top.
NOTICE: The key caps on the keyboard are fragile, easily dislodged, and time-consuming to replace. Be careful when removing and handling the keyboard.
Most probably the problem lies on the keyboard connector. Either it is not properly inserted and/or misaligned. Make sure when you insert the cable to the connector it is all the way in and is perpendicular to the connector. Also when closing the hatch, apply a little bit of inward push on the cable with the other hand since latch when closing will put a little bit of push on the cable which would sometimes cause misalignment or improper contact.
