thinkpad keyboard problem

Mar 15, 2005 8:08AM PST

I have an ibm thinkpad R40 along with a port replicator (docking station). The external keyboard works fine when the thinkpad is docked. But the thinkpad's keyboard doesn't work correctly when it isn't docked. The keys are not mapped correctly (hitting P results in a 6 e.g.). The device manager still says the keyboard is plugged into the keyboard port when it is undocked. Any ideas?

Thanks
