control, function and shift keys do not work

I have a laptop computer VPCEA25FG of the series e. I recently formatted the pc using the sony built option. everything now works fine expect my shift keys, fn and control do not work properly. When I press these keys, they give random entries. No etc num lock is on... all the keys to toggle etc are switched off... i even tried to update the driver, but it still does not work. any help

samkam,

Since you already have a factory recovery I don't think it's a software problem.  The issue could be with the keyboard itself or the motherboard where the keyboard controller is defective...

  • Select multiple channels for a single task - control and shift keys do not work

    Hello

    Following the advice of several other positions, I try to choose several physical channels in the drop-down list so that I can then use the function "unflatten channel channel" later. It seems that if I hold this key is pressed or cntrl, I should be able to select multiple channels in the list, however, this does not work for me. I tried to go in the "navigation key" property for the control channel to task, but there not all listed associations. Someone else has encountered this and found a solution?  I previously around that by declaring several channels by a colon (for example, ai1:3), but it does not work for the unflatten function.

    Thank you

    Claire.

    If I understand correctly, I think that you need to do is use a task property DAQmx. Try to use the channels property to get an array of strings.

  • My shift key does not work on my MacBook Pro

    My shift key does not work on my MacBook Pro. Can I use capital letters but only if I click on change and it's annoying. When I click on the passage icon shift comes at the top right of my screen to show its on but when I click on the lock button nothing happens as it used to glow green when I clicked it. Before someone says go to the system preferences and go to the modifier keys and restore them or make sure caps lock shift is on lock shift, I've tried that already, I looked it upward and found nothing similar. Help ASAP would be appreciated because it is really annoying

    Hello Gracepullan1,

    I understand that shift key of your MacBook Pro does not respond as before. Fortunately the steps below can help to restore the functionality of the SHIFT key on your Mac.

    1. In the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
    2. On the view menu, choose the speech.
    3. Click on the text to Speech tab.
    4. If "Text Speak selected when you press the button" is enabled, the key or combination of keys set to read the text cannot be used for other purposes, or used for typing text - click on set the key and replace it with a less commonly used key combination (try using the modifier such as SHIFT keys, command) Option and control). Or disable the option "Read the selected text when the key is pressed".
    5. Click the accessibility pane or universal access in system preferences, and then click the keyboard tab.
    6. Make sure the slow keys is off. With slow keys on, you must press a key for a longer period of time so he can be recognized.
    7. In the accessibility pane or universal access, click the mouse and make sure mouse keys is turned off. With the active mouse buttons, you cannot use the numeric keypad to enter numbers - instead the keypad moves the pointer (cursor). (There is an option to activate the MouseKeys to five presses down option, you can disable this option to avoid accidentally activate it.) If the mouse keys is enabled and you are using a keyboard without the numeric keypad or Num Lock function, see Impossible to type while mouse keys is enabled in Mac OS X.
    8. If the function keys on the top row of the keyboard do not work as expected, see Mac OS x: how to change the behavior of the function keys.
    9. If the problem persists, use the keyboard Viewer to help isolate the problem:
      1. Click the component language & text (Mac OS X v10.6) or international (Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier) in system preferences.
      2. Click on the tab Input Sources (or tab Menu entry under Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier version).
      3. Click on the keyboard and the characters 'On' box Viewer checkbox to select (click on the viewer of keyboard "On" checkbox under Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier).
      4. In the entry menu (flag), choose Show Keyboard Viewer.

  • If the keyboard is connected and detected by OS X, the keys you type will highlight in the keyboard Viewer window. Open TextEdit (or any text application) and try to type something using the keys that failed before to see if they highlight in the keyboard Viewer.
  • Start up from the Mac OS X installation disc, choose Terminal from the utilities menu and test buttons that did not previously.  If the keys work while started from the install disc, the keyboard works correctly.  How to solve a problem of software allows to isolate the software problem that may be causing the keys to not answer.

    Hello

    The keyboard, I cannot use the SHIFT key. After you have installed windows everything worked properly, the problem recurs after a few days. Practically the SHIFT key does not work.
    On the one hand I'm the A and the other side works like ESC.

    Help me I'm crazy.
    Thank you.

    Hello

    To me that sounds more like a keyboard failure, I can't imagine that it could be linked to the question of the windows operating system do you have tested an external USB keyboard.

    Please test this. In this case, you can check if it s really a software problem.
    If the USB keyboard works correctly, it means that your internal keyboard is malfunctioning.

  • I don't know how i ' v, but I lost the toolbars at the top and bottom. [Alt] will not bring up the toolbar and scroll keys do not work. How can I fix it?

    I managed to hide the toolbars, ALL of them. [Alt] brings to the top of the toolbar so that I can change them. In addition, the [previous page] [next page], [home] and [end] keys do not work.

    You can have:

    1. Choose the Mode "full screen" or
    2. unchecked toolbars

    The F11 key activates / turns off Mode full screen or not. Full screen, you have no toolbars, no tab and no bar Add on (bottom).

    If unchecked you your toolbars (checked = displayed; UN - check = not displayed), and then do one of the following, then click on those you want to check/uncheck:

  • Satellite L305D-S5895 - keys to functions and the wifi does not work with Win XP

    Hello

    first sorry for my English

    I bought a Toshiba Satellite l305d s5895, with Windows XP, I need a software, but the function keys does not work.
    So I need a driver, but I can't, and wireless internet does not work.

    > Where could it find special XP BIOS?
    In my opinion, there is problem because most threads here are on the European laptop models. then come to question United States. Toshiba Europe and Toshiba U.S. do not work together and each of them is responsible for own models and provide support for specific country notebooks models.

    For most models, so here in Europe Toshiba has offered two BIOS. We were already on the delivered Vista laptops. The Toshiba page download available BIOS for Windows XP Home edition. in most cases, it was version 5. XX and this BIOS was designed to support public services and specific tools of Toshiba. For example, all the FN key features was only available with this BIOS WXP.

    So if any of you have laptop model US they would see how the solution with Toshiba U.S. or US forum under http://community.compuserve.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?webtag=ws-laptop&redirCnt=1

    Bye and good luck!

  • After installing new FN and multimedia keys do not work on Qosmio F20

    Hello, my friend buy Qosmio F20 of the Germany, but it comes with Windows Xp with the German language on this subject. I format the hard drive and install Windows Xp Professional SP2. I download all of the drivers who was very available and most of the functions work (like display, sound, touchpad and others), but the multimedia keys and the FN keys do not work (remote work). The other problem is that I can't install the TV tuner.

    With German Windows XP, I try TV tuner but have no SOUND what is the problem? When I try to install the utility software under display appear message that says "Unable to get the information from the BIOS" or something comparable. I have install all the drivers that I found in the Qosmio F20 support page but I have video control with exclamation mark in Device Manager.

    Can you help me?

    Where am I wrong? What should I do?

    First of all he must know that if you are going to install together the Toshiba drivers after installing the OS to do in the right order!
    On the Toshiba driver page, you will find the Installation Instructions. You will need to follow the guide line! It is important to properly work all the functions!

    In addition, you will need to select the right OS. There are two: XP and XP MCE.

    To control buttons Toshiba works correctly, you will need to install the controls.
    But as I said above: follow the instructions in the insulation.

    A few words on the TV tuner:
    As far as I know, you can only use the TV tuner in the country where the laptop was purchased because different PAN and NTSC settings.
    In addition, the TV tuner driver offers TV tuning and recording capabilities using Media Center on your computer. If you have any MCE so I put t know how you want to watch TV.

  • Tecra S5 - FN and sound keys do not work

    Hi, I have problems with sound in Notepad, when the noise stopped working, I reinstalled the sound drivers but the sound does not work.

    The FN keys do not work in the other direction, I can "adjust brightness and sound with the FN keys. I too reinstalled the utilities, but when I run the "accessibility" a windows popup is shown in the screen that says: "the registry is missing or can be broken."

    I don't know if the two problems can be related to each other, but both began to arrive at the same time.

    any advise? or search and return? It s not even ages of two months and has this problem since day 1.
    Not only still used little. Very disappointing quality...

    SATELLITE C50 - B - 11 D

    >... and has this problem since the day 1
    Why wait so long? Where this problem occurs from the beginning, it is always possible to return the laptop to your local dealer and ask for replacement.

    Anyway, do last and final test. Reinstall the original recovery image and check if the problem persists. If so I think you should contact the closest service Toshiba and ask for help. Your laptop is new and its warranty valid, they will help you.

    Maybe new update BIOS, if available, may help, but first try to clarify this issue with the technicians.
