Plug in a USB keyboard.  If that works, you're going to need to replace the internal keyboard.

so there's no way to take it back to factory settings (like it was when he got it) without going through that dos prompt? thank you! i've been searching everywhere for hours, hoping there was another way, but i guess he'll just have to wait to wipe it out until he can get a usb keyboard. thank you :)
