batteries in the keyboard low... but the keyboard is not wireless

I have an old Mac of 2009 so I've had it for quite a long time and he has been in constant use.  Recently, every time I connect I get a "keyboard battery is low, recharge or replace soon.  I have a wireless mouse and replace batteries regularly, but I do not have a wireless keyboard.  I checked all connections and I checked the preferences system that tells me that my batteries are at 17% (the number has been going down).

I have no idea what to do this because it is not yet an area for the batteries in the keyboard.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  I can't believe I'm really depleting earlier batteries in a keyboard, I had for 7 years.

However, when I started checking it reported on 20%.   I'm tempted to just order a new keyboard, but I would first ask if something escapes me thinking.  Sorry I'm not very savvy computer.

Try unplugging the keyboard and by plugging it back in another USB port.

    You can try the recovery of the internet (which will work if your older model has been updated to enable of): hold command + Option + R until you see a progress bar (take a while). It will connect you to the Apple servers. When you see the utility window, choose disk utility to erase your disk and when you're done, choose to reinstall OS X.

    Key on the keyboard does not work in firefox box when you type in the web site, but it works everywhere else?

    Try Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there.

    A way of solving problems, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • You can open the mode without failure of Firefox 4.0 + by pressing the SHIFT key when you use the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • Or use the Help menu option, click restart with the disabled... modules while Firefox is running.

    Do not choose anything at the moment, just use 'continue in safe mode.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the shortcut of Firefox (without the Shift key) to open it again.

    If it's good in Firefox Safe mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one.

  • G780 keyboard does not work, but ONLY if the Elan Touchpad driver is installed.

    I have a bad surprise today--unlike other manufacturers, which offers one year free tech support, Lenovo does not. $179 for a contract or $89 to cover an isolated incident. Thank you, guys. :-/

    Here's my problem.

    G780, bought last October. Upgrade to Win7 Home Premium Win8 Pro.

    A few days ago the integrated keyboard has stopped working. It works in the BIOS, but when you start in Windows, Windows does not recognize it.

    There is a PS/2 keyboard driver and device keyboard HID that appear in Win8 Device Manager. I guess these are the drivers for the built-in keyboard. If I plug in a USB keyboard, it appears in the device as an additional device keyboard HID Manager.

    By trial and error, I discovered that the keyboard still works fine when the Elan touchpad driver is not installed. The problem with THAT: I can not disable the touchpad unless the driver is installed, and if the touchpad is not disabled, it will screw me up because I accidentally brush my hand against the touchpad while typing.

    I also noticed that sometimes the touchpad in the system tray icon with a WARNING icon overlaid on top of it (you know, the little yellow triangle with exclamation point). I can't understand why, and I can't understand what has changed on my computer that caused the keyboard to stop functioning properly.

    I tried uninstalling the Elan touchpad driver, download the latest driver from support G780 web page and put it back. No luck.

    I make do with a USB keyboard at the moment, but I really need this problem is resolved.

    Thanks in advance.

    So I had uninstalled the drivers of momentum earlier... yesterday I tried to reinstall those supplied with the computer.

    At least the keyboard worked now, but the drivers have not been properly disable the touchpad when I plugged the mouse.

    Then I hit Fn - F6, not really thinking that he would do anything, but it fixed the problem.

    I would have but the pilot would have overridden some setting I put with Fn - F6, but... maybe not.

    Problem solved.

  • Satellite C660 - keyboard does not work but the Num and caps lock shift are on

    I have a Satellite C660 which was working fine this morning. When I came home from work and he turned, the keyboard does not work and therefore can not enter my login information.
    The Num and caps lock shift are turned on.

    Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    Hello

    You are able to disable the CapsLock and NumLock?
    You can access the BIOS by pressing F2 by turning on the device?

    If this does not work, I would recommend checking an external USB keyboard.
    If the USB keyboard would be functions, then this means that the internal keyboard is defective and must be replaced.

    Hi all, I have an Aspire Z3-61 that the keyboard is not connected when turned on. If I restart the computer, it works fine. of course turn on/off and rebooting is not the best way that I would get my keyboard works. It does not have to use the on-screen keyboard, and to start windows. I have to restart it to connect. Thanks in advance for any help.

    An alternative workaround that I used when I had the problem was to disable the Windows quick start.

  • Portege M200 - the keyboard does not work and I can't boot from CD/DVD

    Hello

    I recently tried to install VM Player on my Toshiba M200. When I restarted my computer, I found that my network connections did not work. I tried to uninstall the reader of the VM, but it failed to halfway. As the program has created a number of virtual network connections which I couldn't remove, I went into the registry and remove the 20 entries or while I thought when linked.

    I rebooted and found my keyboard HID devices and Wireless does not. So I started using the ketyboard softward to try to resolve the problem. I was able to reboot and login using the software keyboard until I did a restore to the last parameter of normal startup. How, rather than get my login window, I get a message asking me to press Ctrl-Alt-Delete. When I do using the software keyboard I get another window saying due to security, I have to press key instead of Ctrl-Alt-Delete Windows security. When I press the button on the key of Windows security on the lower side right of the screen, nothing happens.

    What I can do. I have also tried to attach a USB CD drive (Philips) but can't get the laptop to boot from it. I get an error message (so I had to research readers of CD boot) saying the laptop can not find the drive. The CD comes on during startup, but only for a second.

    I'm desperate so please let me know what options I have or what I can do about it. The physical keyboard works during startup until the first Windows startup screen appears. No NumLock or such work at the time when I get to the login screen.

    Thanks in advance for one advise you can provide.

    Hello

    A long history on your question... I think the reason for this is why you deleted some registry keys. If you delete something in the registry of Windows, you really know what you're doing. You may damage the entire Windows system!
    So I think that's the reason why the keyboard doesn t more.

    In the manual, I founded the CD-ROM boot option is available with the optical disk option.
    So for me it sounds like that your CD USB drive is not compatible with the laptop

  • Problem starting el capitan (sierra) - built-in keyboard and the mouse do not respond

    Hello

    I have a 2015 macbook pro (SSD 256, 16 GB of RAM last el capitan updated) with a wired problem.

    I use it mainly to a cinema monitor and I use wireless keyboard and mouse (office installation program), and of course as a stand-alone laptop when I'm not at my desk.

    When I put the laptop to sleep, everything works fine when I wake up.

    but, if I'm away from the office and I have to restart my laptop, here is the problem.

    The boot process is very very slow, there is no edge, and when I finally have the screen to unlock the safe, the keyboard and the touchpad do not react. Actually, that's not exactly true, they are so slow that they are unusable and get caught quickly, all gel. So I can't unlock and complete the boot. My laptop is unusable ;-(

    At this point, I get a message that if I forgot my password I just need to reboot by pressing the power button, and I'll be able to reset it.

    When I do this and aprΦs the dΘmarrage that more slowly than usual but ok, I get another screen with several options of problem solving. One of them is "keyboard not responding do not. When choosing this one, it asks if you want to remove safe. I tried and everything was back to normal.

    later, I delivered safe and I had the same problem again. I did the thing to be able to restart again and improved to sierra in the hope that it would disappear. However, the problem is still there.

    I thought I could try to restart my office to see if my keyboard and wireless mouse would still work. Indeed, even if responsiveness was not normal, I could unlock and fill the chest.

    I have the impression that my laptop always "believe" it is on my desk, linked to my screen (probably the reason why I don't hear the Bell) and to my wireless K & M.

    It's really annoying and I hope someone has a solution.

    Thank you very much

    best,

    Alex

    I'm having a similar problem with macOS Sierra which I didn't have with El Capitan.  I can possibly move the cursor on the power button and turn off (no), but I must be patient because the keyboard and trackpad are only for a fraction of a second, which only allows me to move the mouse slightly.  After he stop and start back up, everything is perfect until I tried another reboot, and then I'm back to the beginning.

    I tried to reinstall the operating system, reset the SMC, resetting the NVRAM, reboot in SafeMode... nothing worked so far.
