dead Bluetooth keyboard keys

I found that after a few weeks of non-use, some of the keys on my keyboard no longer works, 'remove' caplock and 'space '. Everything else works. No calamity to the keyboard that I am aware.  Is it repairable?

  • Bluetooth keyboard

    When you use the Sony Bluetooth keyboard with my tablet, keying is often interrupted by the built-in keyboard of the tablet to appear on the screen. This causes the typing to stall and/or letters repeats. It seems to happen about every minute or so and the results by typing mail very uneven and entry. Anyone else notice this? How can I disable the on-screen keyboard using Bluetooth?

  • Iconia W700P - need to access bluetooth keyboard during the boot UEFI or need to boot from a USB

    Solved a problem, now face two other:

    The W700P will now boot from a DVD recovery Acronis TI, but to select the restore function (then the specific restore backup), it requires an entry for a keyboard. The Bluetooth keyboard supplied with the W700P does not work during the boot sequence. I prefer not to go out and buy a USB keyboard, but it is perhaps the only option.

    Or-

    The W700P boot from a USB key can stick? I read that this is impossible, but in looking at the Acer store, that's all they offer as recovery media for the W700P. I made a bootable USB key, when I bought the computer first, but I can't seem to start. All I get is repeated boot Acer screens, maybe he's trying different options in the boot order. I tried to change the order, put a password for boot and secure boot off, but I still have the same question.

    Any ideas?

    Solved once and for the moment! I now have a USB hub, USB, USB and DVD USB mouse keyboard (powered externally). Throw all these things on the machine, I was able to boot into the Acronis Recovery DVD, go to the menu and reinstall a previous backup of Windows 8.1.

  • Can I install Win XP costs with booting from CD bluetooth keyboard? No problem installing connectivity?

    I have a bluetooth (Logitech MX 5000) keyboard and a mouse bluetooth also.

    Can I boot from the XP CD and completely install fresh XP without any keyboard / mouse of disconnection.

    I m wondering how bluetooth will work if XP is install new files?

    And I want to install by booting from the CD only?

    Maryse Agarwal

    I think that you did not understand the problem.  Some bluetooth keyboard/mouse games include

    a bluetooth adapter that is aware of this problem and start eMule a wired USB device

    until the operating system recognizes (and probably Initializes) as a bluetooth adapter.  As a result,.

    during a clean installation of Windows XP, the keyboard works in the environment of pre-seed.

    (Possibly with help from the BIOS itself that can be done "supported inherited" to do the)

    "USB keyboard" watch compatible all the way back to BACK!)

    In any case, once that installation gets pretty far along some more advanced to load drivers

    the BT adapter leaves its compatibility mode and the keyboard stops working.  Alas, it's good

    before the point where you can create connections to BT.  It's to the point where Windows

    The installation program ask you locale, time zone, a * license key * etc.

    I have not found a way around using another keyboard at this point.  Another mouse is also

    practical but not strictly necessary.  (You can do it using and .)

    Hope this clears some things up.

  • Bluetooth mouse lag when Bluetooth keyboard is connected

    Hello

    I recently bought a Lenovo Thinkpad with windows 8, and I noticed a really annoying problem. I have a Bluetooth mouse and a bluetooth keyboard and my keyboard works fine, but when my Bluetooth keyboard is connected, my Bluetooth mouse is REALLY bad. If the keyboard is off then the mouse works great, only it messes up if the two are connected at the same time.

    I have seen several discussions on the Bluetooth mouse problems when playing games or transfer of data, but mine does all the time if I have my keyboard connected at the same time.

    Is there anything I can do to fix this?

  • Palm Bluetooth keyboard

    Hello

    I have a driver problem with the Palm Bluetooth keyboard 3245WW running the 1.1.0.8 pilot on a Centro. After about 15 minutes of use, the keyboard will start connection loss every 3 min. After that 4-5 will reconnect the simple keyboard will not work. When in an application, I can use the top and to the bottom of the keys, but the right/left keys do not work. When these questions start to happen I have to do a soft reset to get it to work again. Then after the soft rest 2 I have to reinstall the driver for the keyboard. Needless to say I went back to the keyboard Ira that has always worked. Anyone has an ideas would be great.

    -Tim-

    OK, I unloaded everything, the unit did not charge anything except the keyboard driver. The only application that I used was Notepad. I do not have the blocking or the loss of function keys, but after 15 minutes, no use, I had to redo a reconnection. And as before, after a few reconnects I had to do a soft reset.
