Laptop has no power, only when keyboard plugged in o.O

As per title, my second laptop has developed a odd fault, when the laptops own keyboard is plugged in it will not switch on! took the battery out and plugged in AC adapter, not even an indicator light came on! yet i unplug the laptops keyboard (built in one of course) and boom it works...

I can use a USB keyboard but this is painful to have to do.

Currently it works perfectly fine but the moment you plug in the keyboard it stops working o.O

I've a guess that its just something wrong with the keyboard but what if it is not? i've never heard or experienced anything like this so er yes im actually stuck with this one help!

Sounds like the keyboard has a short. Only way to be sure is to get another keyboard just search the numbers on it on eBay.
