Hit the buttons in the center of the keyboard causes reboot

Greetings. I have a 2007 MacBook Pro 2.4 Ghz Intel Core Duo, El Capitan (10.11.6), 6 GB, 640 GB hard drive, 15 "display.

Every once in a while, when I tap on a button in the center of the keyboard, the computer will restart. G, H and F keys seem to cause it. For awhile, I thought that it was limited to when I hit a key hard (I tend to type with a strong key pressure), now it does same when I'm softer. He's unpredictable, sometimes I can spend weeks without that happening, while at other times it can happen twice a day. It can also happen when I wear the portable peasantry with me in a bag; It seems that a moderate shaking can also cause it.

I now run El Capitan, but the problem also occurred in Mavericks.

I thought it might be caused by a micro-crack in the motherboard, a crack that would become perhaps wider when I hit the keyboard just right, and this expansion of the crack would cause a reboot. So, I thought to get a new motherboard (for various reasons, I can't buy another computer at the moment). I don't know what to buy, however.

If someone else has had a similar experience, any help would be appreciated.

    As suspects, there is a conflict in the Adobe 64-bit dll.  Not all the components on a system Win 64 64-bit native, so it seems that something in my system does not cooperate with the 64-bit version.  It's the support, since the freshly installed (first time) 32-bit version works like a charm.

    I'd be curious to know how many people out there running 64-bit without these issues and if so, what material they are on.  But at least I'm functional - for now.

    Thanks to everyone who gave suggestions.

  • I can't disable the keyboard mouse when I installed usb mouse.

    OT: The mouse settings.

    I can't disable the keyboard mouse when I have the usb mouse installed, they way I type provokes me accidentally touching the keyboard & I need to be able to disable this 'thing'. Can someone give me a hint on how to achieve this?

    I guess that what you mean is that when you type, your hand hits the trackpad causing a right click of the mouse. I used to have the same problem.

    If you go to the Hardware and Settings under control panel, you should see the settings for your trackpad. Under these settings, clear tapping to click. The trackpad still works, but hitting should not get them to click. The settings vary depending on the trackpad you have.

    I hope this helps!

  • Taking the keyboard Y570

    I am currently trying to replace the thermal paste on my laptop (Y570), but have problems with the keyboard. I followed the instructions on this video:

    http://m.YouTube.com/#/watch?v=7tE_i91q5vw&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D7tE_i91q5vw

    I'm stuck on the part where you take the keyboard. I tried to use a screwdriver to take the keyboard by force, but I accidentally cracked a keyboard to 2 part . I fear on the use of the driver to get out with force the keyboard cause I could damage it. Does anyone know how correctly to the keyboard? I've seen a few videos and they said to push down and pull upwards. I do not exactly understand but I triend to push the lower part of their keyboard while pulling on the top but doesn't always work.

    Any ideas? Please help and thanks in advance

    Hi imattf,

    The guide to disassembly keyboard starting @ 2:30mins - 3:10mins on this youtube video is accurate, as it follows the same procedure on page 46 and 47 of the hardware maintenance manual.

    Rather than use a flat screwdriver or your fingers to remove the keyboard, try to use a plastic pry tool and carefully lift upward from all corners of the keyboard until you remove it completely.

    Hope this helps

  • How can I stop the page to reload automatically when I hit the back button?

    A few months back, I upgraded to a new laptop, and since then, when I hit the back button, it refreshes the previous page from what I can understand. On my last laptop, if I was doing some research on a site and click the previous button, the search bar would be automatically ready to hit the BACKSPACE and delete what is there for a new search. Now, when I hit the back button, I have to manually click inside the search box to do, and I hate it. When you are doing research on multiple sites, like this time savers really help. This applies to regular sites (forums, online stores, etc.), not search like Google sites.

    I don't have this problem on my old laptop and does not know how to solve this problem on this one. They are the two Win7 x 64, and version of the browser is not the issue. I started Firefox on this computer that same exact on the last of them, and after the updates, it's always the same. I am currently on 8.0 but will soon be upgrading to the new.

    Do you mean that the search bar on this page focus?

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).
