    First thing to do is to borrow a keyboard from another PC with the same type of connector. If it works with that, time for her to get a new keyboard.

    If the substitute keyboard connector won't work and it has a USB plug, try a different socket. If no USB sockets (and no other USB devices) work, come back and tell us, and we can (probably) tell her how to fix that.
