Double letter when typing fast

I currently use Alienware M17X R4. Recently, when I type something quick that involve letter 'a', it becomes double as 'aa '. It is the only letter on the keyboard that has this problem. I tried to use an external keyboard, and this question has not arrived.

This problem often occurs when I type very fast and not always. It is worth noting that my laptop is free of viruses and malware and I also took the key to clean.

So is this a problem at the level of the material, or is it something else?

In my case it did turn out to be material.  Dell sent me a new keyboard that I had to install.  This has solved the problem for me...

    What plugins are you using IE? Some plugins/toolbars can drastically affect performance.

    Have you tested in FireFox or another browser? You can download FireFox here: http://www.getfirefox.com

    Have you installed Windows yourself? Or are you using the factory Windows installation?

    Maybe you are missing some drivers, for example, if you have not installed the correct graphics drivers, Windows will run in Mode VGA (software mode), which is very slow.
    Take a look in the device for driver issues Manager.

    It can also be caused by software installed. Perhaps you have two antivirus installed? Maybe you should try to back up your data and running recovery. Who would determine if it is a hardware or software problem.

    An update of the BIOS can also help. You can get the latest version of the BIOS on the Toshiba site in the support section.

  • Missing symbols when typing fast on my Satellite L550

    Hello

    My Satellite L550 laptop has the same problem of keyboard L670 series. More often, some keys don't work, always the same: 1 6 s d g j... When this problem occurs, I can type using a second key like shift or SPACEBAR.

    L670 series that has been corrected by new BIOS but on L550 what could I do?

    Sometimes it works fine, but I still need to type slowly, but it won't...

    Thanks a lot for a solution

    Sorry for my bad English

    > More often, certain keys do not work, always the same: 1 6 s d g j... When this problem occurs, I can type using a second key like shift or SPACEBAR.

    To be honest it s I do not know that the L550 would be affected by the same problem of keyboard as the L670.
    Have you tested this behavior of the laptop with an external USB keyboard?
    Do this

    If the same question is not available using the second external USB keyboard, this means that the BIOS is ok and the internal keyboard is affected.

    Thank you very much - I understand what you are saying I am however a touch typist and work with laptop computers for 15 years - this is the first problem I had - are new more sensitive machines?

    HI Margaret

    Because the keyboard is integrated in the housing of the computer laptop, something as simple as the slight vibration when typing can cause the touchpad the cursor or initiate a click, depending on the sensitivity of the touchpad settings.

    You must disable the touchpad when typing. Most modern laptops provide an option or a keyboard shortcut to get there.

    The following keyboard shortcuts have been known to disable the touchpad on different systems. Press and hold down the Fn key and then press F3, F4, F6, F7, F9, or F12 to disable the Touchpad.

    1. press the Windows Key + X to display the System menu.

    2. Select Control Panel.

    3. Select "display by" in "category to large icons or small icons in the upper right corner.

    4. double-click on 'mouse'.

    5. click on the "device settings" tab (tab can be also named "Touchpad, Synaptics, etc.").

    6. click on "settings".

    Instructions specific to disable the touchpad or contact manufacturers of laptop support, read the instructions for your system.

    Hi @mexpensive33,

    Thank you for your response.

    If you do a search on the web there are videos on the removal and cleaning of the keys on the keyboard.

    There are also several YouTube videos if you want to view.

    If you are unable to solve the problem and it's a question of physics with the keyboard you can replace.

    If you see the maintenance guide and maintenance for your laptop (if available), you can get part numbers and instructions for replaceable parts by the customer to do an auto repair.

    I would need the exact model of the HP Envy to get the interview guide.

    If you should be in warranty please contact HP support for service options.  If you are out of warranty you can also try a local computer repair shop.

    Good luck!

  • Remote Desktop, response delayed when typing using the SHIFT key

    I have a laptop running Vista professional that I used to connect (DSL) to a desktop computer using remote desktop (XP) work.  Several months ago, I started noticing a response delayed when typing using the SHIFT key. For example my name, Garth, might get typed Garth, the text could (for example) get typed as 9 example0 and so on. The delay of the effects as well the pressed ALT key and assigns these keys on both sides of the keyboard.
    I did not used to have this problem and wonder if an automatic update to my laptop (vista) could have caused this problem. This problem does not exist when I connect the laptop using office away from my local Starbucks. My other laptop (older) doesn't have this problem at home or on the go.

    Well Garth, it seems that the problem may be with your home network if you have 'no' to this question when connecting to a local Starbucks.

    While you're at home with this laptop and connected to your DSL, it is a problem if you are 'not' connected to the desktop computer?  Or is it a problem regardless of whether you are connected or not connected to the work computer?

    Update your anti-virus software and run a full scan.

    Then download, install, update and run a full scan with malwarebytesfree. (Keep free, no need to enter in any trial etc.).

    Then run a sfc/scannow to see what that brings.

  • With the help of period as a double zero when entering timecode values

    It is a very long tradition (since CMX edition in the 1970s) to use the period on the numeric keypad as a double zero when entering timecode values.  For example, 1... would be 1:00:00:00.  0102 would be 01:02:00:00.  When you press the period, the application will display 00.  This has been the case with all other editors I've ever used.
