Caps lock button does nothing

On my computer, the Caps Lock key isn't is no longer anything.

Troubleshooting steps:
* Exchanged several keyboards. Same problem with everyone.
* Tried the virtual keyboard Caps Lock (doing a job and even lights the indicator light on the physical keyboard).
* Unplugged, replugged USB cables different USB ports and restarted. No change.
* Use Device Manager to check for driver updates. No updates found.
* A searched USB / keyboard settings in the BIOS to turn on or off. None found.
System Specs:

* Dell SK-8115 keyboard

* Windows XP Professional 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3 Build 2600
* Dell Optiplex 760

In Windows XP (and some others), there is a registry hack to disable the behavior of the keyboard Caps Locks with a binary input Scancode . If you are comfortable with taking a peek inside your Windows registry database, open RegEdit and navigate to,

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout]
If there is a Scancode map key, first export it if you have a copy then delete it. According to me, only a reboot may be necessary to have the new parameter of rereading in the system.
FWIW, this is not normal behavior and if you have a Scancode map key, it was put there by a person or a program. You might want to consider the issue. Also note that there are available for the keyboard and a Keyboard Layouts registry entries. You want the old (in the singular).

    Hi all

    My CAPS LOCK key does not work on my laptop series satellite P50-A-14F. Just realized while writing an email that does not work, so is more or less sudden. Nothing has been spilled on it. Here's what I've checked so far:

    -green light indicating that CAPS is LOCKED turn everything on by pressing the key on the keyboard of the screen
    -Keyboard backlight does not start when I press the button, but it works for the key itself when you press a button any.
    -try a clean boot but no results.

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Hello

    > Just realized while writing an email that does not work, so is more or less sudden.

    Have you tested the button LOCKING of upper CASE using different software: Web browser, by word or any other editor?
    How about using the external keyboard?

    From my point of view, there are two possible malfunctions: either there is a problem with the software that you use or the internal keyboard works badly simply and in this case, the replacement of keyboard will solve the problem.

    You could test the external USB keyboard. In case the button LOCKING of UPPER USB external keyboard functions, then the internal keyboard needs to be replaced for sure.

  • Power On button does nothing

    Pushing my Presario SR1913 power button does nothing.  No matter what power and output cable, I use (all the work for my other PC).

    The click of a button, the cable connecting to the motherboard SR1913WM seems good.  Like the mobo, including all caps and the connection to the PSU mobo *.

    When I put the PC on its side and unplugged everything, I found a 2 "length of 20 DuraShock steel wire lying on the mobo near the RAM slots just on the other side of the central unit.  The last time everything was fine was until I put on its side earlier to swap in a new HARD drive.

    Is there a chance my mobo is not dead?  What is my next step?  Replace the power supply and I hope it solved?

    If so, what kind of power supply is compatible?  And I should mention here that saw that it works perfectly after months of puzzle I just (Ack!), I was about to post asking what are the considerations of compatibility of PCIe video card.  So I'm hoping to get a power supply that supports a modest graphics card (I don't play, I want just a DVI port and support my monitor 1920 x 1200).

    Yes, an ATX12V will be your choice.

    All video cards have recommended minimum power.

    Choose your card, and then select a power supply that matches the criteria.

  • Menu button does nothing.  LED on Apple TV flashes, but otherwise nothing happens.  Ideas?

    Menu button does nothing.  On the Apple TV Red flashes when pressed, but otherwise nothing.  Makes the system essentially unusable.

    Don't know what the screen, you're stuck on...

    Try double tapping the key to TV icon and drag it to the top.  If one of your applications is down, this will force to leave completely and not just go into the background.

  • G6 caps lock flashes continuously, nothing on the screen

    Hi, I have a HP g6-1325sa had a problem which had to replace the fan.

    However since then nothing appears on the screen F12 has an orange light and the caps lock continuously flashes every 2-3 seconds. This isn't a blinking code it does this constantly.
    So far, I have tried blocking the vents and leaving the laptop that works for more than an hour, as I've heard can be caused by dry solder joints. I have also tried to replace the motherboard and twice managed to get a cursor blinking on the screen but niether of those moments a normal startup is possible that the HARD drive has been disconnected on both of these occasions, the first time that it happened, I had just disconnected power and battery and power and hold for 30 seconds I'm guessing it's a cmos reset.

    the only cause I can think is that the processor is cooked when the fan has been replaced, but who had already paid for another motherboard I would like someone to confirm what it means when the caps lock flashes constantly and if there is another way to fix it.

    Thank you very much in advance for any help

    Solved this problem where everyone sees the same behavior.

    CPU replaced and he started to ask right now, it seems that my predecessor Cook the processor when they changed it is fan.

  • Change the source of entry with the Caps Lock key does not

    It should be possible to change the input source with the Caps Lock key on macOS Sierra.

    and I checked "Toggle ABC of input source with caps lock shift" in system preferences > keyboard > input Source.

    However, it does not lock shift still only works as long as CapsLock

    I tried to reboot, reset the keyboard shortcuts, deactivation of Siri, reset NVRAM and reset the SMC, but still does not.

    I use only the default input source and have not installed and related programs to the keyboard or input source.

    Can anyone help?

    Thanks in advance.

    Greetings slwsbl!

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I see that you want to change the input source with the SHIFT key on macOS Sierra. I understand the importance of wanting to use a specific key when changing inputs. I'm happy to help you with this.

    It is possible to do. Please take a look at the User Guide helps Mac, specifically, this section:

    Switch between input sources

    To switch between input sources, do one of the following:

    • Use the menu entry: Click on the menu entry in the menu bar, and then choose the input source. If an input source is dimmed, the current application does not support it.

    • Use the Caps Lock key: Press the caps lock shift key to switch between a non-Latin input (such as the Chinese or Korean) source and an input source Latin (for example, French or English).

      To use this method, you must select the option "use Caps Lock to toggle to and from" in the stream of input methods. Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, click keyboard, and then click input methods.

    • Use keyboard shortcuts: Press control-Option-space bar to select the source of the following entry in the menu entry, or control-space to select the previous input source.

    Best regards.

  • Problem with Y550 Wireless: Wireless button does nothing

    Got this Y550 (used), a few days ago. When I got there, the wifi worked well. Then it stopped working, I reinstalled Windows 7 (Lenovo recovery CD), then every time I turn on the wireless button, it just does nothing. No wifi signal, it's like a dummy button. Here's what I've tried so far:

    1) updated the driver and BIOS (Intel Wifi link 5100 AGN)

    (2) for configuration towards the top of my network and sharing Center, and whenever I tried troubleshooting, it says 'enable wireless function '.

    It's as if everything doesn't work anymore. The laptop says stil it's under warranty, but I don't know if I can do anything with the guarantee (second user).

    My other lenovo G550 has the same problem. But it is always connected to the wired router, but still, I would like to know what is the problem and how to fix them. I searched the forum for Y550 wireless problem, but has not really helped. Should I change the wireless card, on each of them? Thanks in advance

  • REMOTE OFFICE RESOURCES, LOCAL, MORE BUTTON DOES NOTHING.

    I use desktop remotely about 2 times a month. The last time I used it, about 3 weeks it worked fine. When I tried this morning, it worked, but my drive of the local computer shares were NOT appearing in the desktop connection remote.

    So I thought I had newspaper off voltage/disconnect and adjust my settings.

    When I click the "More" button... ' to highlight and view local drives to share, it nothing happens.

    I looked in the event viewer errors related to remote desktop, but no luck.

    For example, Remote Desktop works, but I can no longer change the specific local resources because more... Button does absolutely nothing.

    Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Baymaster JRC,

    You can first check whether or not the remote desktop service is started and set to automatic.

    To check the service

    1. click on start

    2. in the start search box, type Services

    3. click right on - RUN as ADMINISTRATOR

    Check if the below mentioned services has mentioned State and type start.

    Remote Desktop services started automatic

    Also check the dependency services that are required for the remote desktop function work correctly.

    To check the dependency services click two times on the service and click the Dependencies tab.

    Also try to run as an administrator remote desktop connection and check if you have the option to select the disks.

    To run as administrator right click on the application and select run as administrator.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • Introduce the button does nothing

    I have a form created in Acrobat 9 Pro, which has a configured for mailto send button: my aol address.  If I open the file in Adobe Acrobat Pro local, fill in and press the "submit" button, it brings up a sign asking me to select my mail app, which he started, creates the mail and once I'm in my e-mail program I can send it and it happens.

    If I push the button when in Adobe Reader, it brings up an error sign "this operation is not allowed."

    The button does absolutely nothing when the file is load/edited in Premiere.

    I have the file in my site web (I am running apache on my machine) and it loads in safari very well using the url http://localhost/~Cathy/My_Form.PDF and allows me to fill the fields, but when I push the "Submit" button, there is no sign that something happened to all the.

    We tried with the Web site of the client on our production server, and it includes the same way - no error message, no mail, no sign that the button is connected to anything.

    Obviously, we missed something here - someone ' a has an idea of what we do to make this work?

    Preview has bad support for PDF Forms. It's Apple's fault, and there is nothing you can do about it besides does not use.

    It can work with the player, assuming that you have set up the form 'submit' the complete PDF, but only if the document has been enabled for reader (Advanced > extend features in Adobe Reader).

    Using this method is far from reliable, since a lot depends on how the client machine is set up, which is really out of control from Adobe. A much more reliable approach is to submit the form data or the complete PDF to a web server, which must be put in place to deal with the presentation and do something with the data or file.

  • Caps lock indicator does not.

    I've recently been messing around in the msconfig and services.msc trying to streamline things. Also, I went to the back office database, but switched to an aero theme. Now the screen to jump to the top of the indicator for the caps lock no longer works. I have no idea what the status of the caps lock shift is without him, because there is none on the keyboard. How do I get this on?

    Am having this problem also.  I know the rocker, but prefer the screen caps lock indicator.  How can I activate the indicator of the screen?

    Hello

    I think that the message of contextual text for the Caps Lock key is an element that is installed by the computer manufacturer. See the computer documentation or ask the computer manufacturer about this.

    I hope this helps.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones lock button does not work after update

    Since the last update on my Blackberry Bold 9780 the 'lock' button no longer works.  How to solve this?

    You can try without decommissioning of your BlackBerry smartphone to the previous version to test it for me?

    Plug your smart phone BlackBerry on your PC and then launch the BlackBerry Desktop Software.  Before you do anything that this, backup your device.  Then click on the device and then update.  Choose see other Versions in the pop up screen then choose 6.0.0.461 from the list.

    If you can try this when you have the opportunity, so I would like to know if the lock button works, it will be useful in the diagnosis, be it a bug of software or a physical problem with the device.  You can let me know the results.

    Thank you!
