Dell Studio 1555: missing the PAUSE/BREAK key

Hello world

I just got my new laptop Studio 1555, but I was stumped when I noticed that there is no PAUSE/BREAK key. It is a key that I actually needed for some applications.

Could if it you please let me know which is the shortcut to reproduce the PAUSE button?

In the same vein, it looks like also the integrated numeric keypad (i.e. small blue numbers on 789, UIO, JKL) disappeared. It was useful for typing the letters accented with FN + ALT + 0234 (and others). A way to reproduce this behavior?

Thank you for your help.

  • Ask about the Pause/break key on the keyboard

    As Saroseus,

    I have a program that uses the Pause/break to continue to operate and without it I can not continue to use it for work. The work of the society for us gave keyboards with the Pause/break key, but it is not ergonomic and it's hurting my wrist to use. That is why I bought this keyboard. This is a great keyboard and it works well, but I need this button "Pause". While Microsoft can do you something about it.

    Hello

    Let me ask you;

    • What exactly you're talking about when you say, ' I need this button "Pause"?
    • Is not the Pause/break key in the keyboard you purchased, working?
    • This keyboard does not have a Pause/break key?
    • Do you mean you bought now ergonomic keyboard?
    • The keyboard has Pause and break keys separately?

    It might be possible that some newer keyboards may have separate keys for the pause feature and the pause feature. Instead of these two functions are on the same key, the keyboard has a separate PAUSE button of the PAUSE button.

    On many keyboards, the key that controls the functions pause and break is usually labeled as the PAUSE button. As a result, many keyboard shortcuts show you "Press a PAUSE button." However, when you only press the BREAK key, the default behavior is to take a break.

    This behavior that many people know can cause some confusion on newer keyboards that have separate PAUSE and BREAK keys. For example, the newer laptops may have separate PAUSE and BREAK keys.

    Steps to reproduce the behavior

    Follow these steps on a keyboard that has one button PAUSE/ATTN:

    1. Open a command prompt window. To do this, click Start, click run, type cmd.exe, and then click OK.
    2. At the command prompt, type dir, press the ENTER key and immediately press the PAUSE/BREAK key.

      Note that the list of files in the directory stops. This behavior indicates that the default behavior of the key is to pause. To see this behavior for a directory that has a short list of files, you must press the PAUSE/BREAK key very quickly after you press the ENTER key.

    3. Press CTRL + PAUSE/BREAK.

      Note that the list of files in the directory stops and returns you to the command prompt. This shows that the secondary behavior of the key is to break.

    In addition, if you follow these same steps, and if you press the CTRL + Windows Logo + PAUSE/BREAK Keyboard shortcut to open the System Properties dialog box, the dialog box does not appear. This behavior is further proof that the default behavior of the PAUSE/BREAK key is to pause.

    If the keyboard does not pause button, you can use the screen keyboard and check.

    Open the on-screen keyboard by clicking the Start button , clicking all programs, Accessories, ease of access, and then click on-screen keyboard.

    You can see: using the keyboard (OSK) typing on-screen

    Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

  • Help me install a Pause/break key on keyboard Dell

    Hello, I have Windows Vista on computer Dell Laptop Inspiron 1545, the problem is that it doesn't have a Pause/break key on the keyboard because it's a smaller version keyboard.

    So, can someone please tell me step by step exactly how to make one of my other keys in a Pause/break key.

    Don't tell me to go look for a software or something like AutoHotKey because I don't know how to use it exactly.

    I understand that I need to change some sort of registry but I do not understand computer code.

    I would change my right on the Pause/break key Alt key.

    So please can someone tell me where and what file to find and what to edit in it exactly, so my right Alt can become key Pause/break now in all games and programs.

    Thank you for reading and help :)

    Very well!
    Finally I figured out the AutoHotKey
    My game Hegemonia works now...
    Dell Inspiron 1545 with Windows Vista, I have...
    My keyboard doesn't have the Pause/break key which is needed to pause the game Hegemonia...
    So I remapped my right Alt key in Pause button...

    Here's what I did and what you should do if you have problem like this:

    -Download and install AutoHotKey software.

    -Then go to my programs on the Start Menu and open the program "AutoHotKey."

    -Now, let him register a file where it asks to save it in.

    -If the icon does not appear upward again in the lower right of your screen then go and open the program to 'AutoHotKey' once again, now it should appear in the lower right.

    -Right-click on the icon 'H' of the clock in the bottom right of your screen and select "edit this Script.

    -Remove all of this notebook and just put this code in it:

    RAlt: ^ break

    -And then save the file and close it.

    -Then right click on that 'H' icon again and choose "reload this Script.

    -Now you're ready to go... Yes, the 'H' icon must be on when you want your right Alt key to be used as a key break, but when you have completed a game that needs a touch of pause, then you can just right-click on the 'H' icon and choose Exit.

    -then next time when you want to play a game that uses the Pause/break key to pause the game, make sure you just as you open this same AutoHotKey program first, and then the game.

    -No, you don't need to edit the script or reload the program when you open it later for future use, because it is already registered

    I was so happy when it worked for me... AWESOME!

  • Dell Studio 1555 power button cable

    I have a Dell Studio 1555 that the right side of the lcd bezel jumped on and 3 wires to the switch, everything broke loose.  I have no idea what should be the order of seizure on the map of power switch.  I can identify position 1 because it is marked on the map.  Any help with setting up for blue, white and green wires would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!

    I have a Dell Studio 1555, old enough, at this point, but he's dead (i.e. the powerbutton was disconnected) suddenly and I would get my files there.  I did a little research, but it seems that for the model of 1555, the powerbutton and wifi are not grouped, see

  • Laptop Dell Studio 1555 w / Vista does not wake from sleep when the lid is open.

    I have a laptop Dell Studio 1555 with Vista Premium 64-bit. Until last night, the laptop would run mode standby when I closed the lid and woke up when I opened the cover later. Yesterday I was downloading photos from a Canon camera via USB. I close the lid when I did. When I went to open the cover later the laptop screen remained in black and white. The power button is lit, but the only way I can get to meet is to hold the power button until it turns off completely, and then restart the laptop. A difference when the lid is closed, I think the power button will blink and turn off slowly while he was really in sleep. He remains on all the time now when the lid is closed. I tried to go into power management and put the laptop from sliding when the lid is closed, but has not made a difference.

    Run the system restore and choose a restore point created just before the problem occurred. Steve Winograd, MS - MVP (Windows desktop experience)

  • Dell Studio 1555 lack numpad - is there a practical solution?

    I regularly use accented letters in formal and informal contexts in several languages and I need a numeric keypad for typing these. I bought the Dell Studio 1555 without realizing account as the keyboard completely lacking a numeric keypad integrated. I can't switch back between, say, Spanish and German keyboards standard because I use the Dvorak layout and feel that force me to change the layout I use natively just for a missing feature on a keyboard is not a real solution to the problem.

    Is it possible to assign keys fn key to, say, the top row? No combination of Fn, shift, NumLock (reassigned to F6) allows me to type alt codes.

    cungsyu

    Well, I'm not against having a hardware keypad, but I would like to find a software solution mainly.

  • Dell Studio 1555 does not connect to internet

    I have a Dell Studio 1555 with windows vista, I recently did a clean install on him, that he had several errors saying THAT BOOTMGR was missing, which was apparently defeated and is therefore no longer and issue, however, I am currently trying to install CD player and more to install correctly, except for a few wireless readers. From that it does connect to the moderm via radio, not it connect to internet via ethernet cables. It's also extremely and unusually slow, with errors continious for several areas. I don't know what to do and am only slightly tech savy. Please help as I need this laptop facing up and running as soon as possible. Thanks in advance for your time.

  • QUICK FACIAL RECOGNITION ACCESS WILL NOT WORK ON DELL STUDIO 1555 FROM MOZILLA UPDATE

    When Firefox updated my face recognition fast access on Dell Studio 1555 is no longer works. The box shows but not green line around it

    There are other things that need your attention.

    Your list of details of the system shows that you have two Flash plugins installed.

    1. Shockwave Flash 11.6 r602
    2. Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202

    You must remove the older version of Flash 11.2 r202.

    You can set the pref plugin.expose_full_path to true on the on: page config to see the full path on the plugins installed on the topic: plugins page.

    It is best to not only let pref set true as it exposes the full path to the web servers through the navigator.plugins object, so reset this pref to false after you're done with the topic: plugins page.

    Manually, see "uninstall a plugin:

  • My dell studio 1555 laptop does not turn on

    Hello

    Does not turn my dell studio 1555 laptop computer. I tried all the troubleshooting option provided in the dell forums.

    Here are the steps:

    • Disconnected all external devices on the computer, including the battery and the AC adapter / CC.
    • Press and hold the power button for 20 seconds.
    • Reconnected the battery and the adapter.

    After checking all the options of this still my laptop does not turn. I am not able by any beeps as well.

    I even checked the video output connect my laptop with an HDMI cable on other devices (TV). The screen is blank.

    Kindly let me know what we can do more.

    PS: I have no warranty for my laptop.

    Thank you

    Kirti.

    Check that the LED on the adapter lights before plugging the end of the book.  If this is not the case, replace the card.

    Try without the battery - if it will then light up, the battery is bad.

    Unplug, remove the battery, press power for 30 seconds and remove and reinstall the bars of memory.  Try again.

    If it lights with a good map and without the battery, replace the motherboard.
