Acer laptop - keyboard

Acer Aspire laptop 7741Z.

Some keys on my keyboard have more than one letter/signs.
Some of them are colored BLUE.

For example...
key number 2 has a sign of quotes ("") in blue

key question mark has an E accented in blue

How to activate?

I don't have a manual to explain this part.

SHIFT CTRL + Fn + right

Some of these keys type in Microsoft Word... Work?

SHIFT CTRL + Fn + right twice
(.. .meaning CTRL + Fn + Right Shift then let go of shift all holding the key CTRL and Fn, then press SHIFT again.)

... to turn it off. *

* Turn it off could be on some systems with everything from same strike into the corner-not the repetition.  Some systems the repeated he cycled back on.  * smile *.

Another option...

Boot in normal mode (have not changed by using the below or above methods - all work of defaults expected).

Press SHIFT CTRL + right
This activates the secondary function keys (all the top blue symbols.)
Senior blue symbol using the regular shift-key you want combo.

Press CTRL + Right Shift
This activates the tertiary blue symbols (all symbols less blue on the keys.)
To access it, use CTRL + ALT + key you want.

Press CTRL + right shift to disable.

  • Want to buy the computer acer laptop

    Does anyone have suggestions on buying a cheap Acer laptop with or without optical drive

    I bought an Acer Aspire R7 R7 571/R7-572 in 2013, I have no regrets.  It's a portable tablet convertible and I particularly like this feature.  Not so much because it's an Acer, but because I can fold the monitor flat on top of the keyboard or just pull it forward and adjust it to my line of vision or to stop a glow of a lamp.  This Acer has a very fast start up.  I put 10 W on it when it is released.  I also ordered the stick of reformatting, but it is very expensive compared to other manufacturers. Be able to reformat saved a lot of money since 1996.

    my laptop keyboard is not working. His pavilion G6 2228TU model please help me.

    Hello

    This could be a hardware problem, but it is always worth trying the following.

    Open windows control panel, open Device Manager, expand keyboards, "Standard PS/2 Keyboard" right click and select uninstall.

    When you are finished, stop the laptop - if you're running Windows 8 or 8.1, do it by holding down the button SHIFT left click Shutdown to temporarily prevent a hybrid boot.

    Then disconnect the AC adapter and then remove the battery.  Press and hold the Power button for 30 seconds.  Reinsert the battery and plug in the AC adapter.

    Robinet tap away at the key esc that you start the computer to launch the Start Menu, and then select f10 to open the bios menu.  Press f5 to load the default values (sometimes it's f9, but the menu below indicates the correct key), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press ENTER.  Press f10 to save the setting and still use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press on enter.

    Kind regards

    You have an Acer laptop, Packard Bell Windows Vista computer running?

    Packard Bell OEM Windows can only be used on machines from Packard Bell.

    If the label says XP, then the machine was initially delivered with XP,

    and the one who sold you the machine will rip you off with an illegal copy of Vista.

    If you can, get your money back.

    If not, you will have either to reinstall XP, or get a legitimate copy of something more recent.
