This detailed step-by-step (link removed because the site is gone) guide will help you to remove and replace the keyboard on an Everex StepNote laptop. These instructions will work for the following Everex StepNote models: NC1501, NC1502, NC1503, NC1510, NC1610, VA2000, VA2001, VA4100, VA4101, VA4103 and VA4300.
Be very careful with the keyboard connector on the motherboard shown in the steps 14-17. This connector is permanently soldered to the motherboard. If you break the connector your laptop keyboard will become nonfunctional and you’ll have to replace the whole motherboard or use the laptop with an external USB keyboard.
Update: I removed the link because the site with instructions is gone. Please submit a link to the disassembly guide if you know where it is.

Janis,
Either you have a faulty keyboard or there is a problem with the keyboard controller on the motherboard.
You’ll have to replace the keyboard and if it doesn’t help, you’ll have to replace the motherboard.
